ABSTRACT:
A frame extending around an opening in a vehicle roof has a resilient molding adapted to support the perimeter of a curved glass panel to close off the opening. A pair of bayonets projecting in spaced relationship to the underside of the forward edge of the panel mates with a recessed member carried by the frame when the panel is inclined with respect to the roof to act as a pivotal hinge, allowing motion of the panel between a closed position and that inclined position. The bayonets include cantilevered beams which are provided with reinforcing flanges disposed intermediate the main body of the bayonets and the top of the cantilevered beams. In a second embodiment of the invention, the bayonet body and the cantilevered beam have a metal insert which provides additional strength and flexibility.
