Abstract
A motor vehicle glazing prepared for installation is provided with one or more profiled spacers produced by extrusion of an extrudable polymer directly onto the glazing. A first spacer is provided along its outer periphery with an lip portion projecting beyond the peripheral area of the glazing. In the installed position of the glazing the lip portion rests against the window frame flange running parallel to the peripheral area of the glazing and acts, upon insertion of the glazing and during the setting process of the assembly adhesive, as a support and centering element for the glazing. Adjacent the first profiled spacer, and attached to the glazing is the assembly adhesive bead. Optionally, a second spacer is provided also adjacent the adhesive bead for retaining the adhesive bead between the first and second spacers and for adding support.
