ABSTRACT:
Provided is a fastener assembly for temporarily securing a windshield made of sheet glass when mounting the windshield on a windshield frame or an internal flange of an opening of a vehicle body by using a bonding agent. The fastener assembly consists of two fastener halves adapted to be secured to the windshield and the vehicle body, respectively, and a multitude of mushroom-shaped projections are provided on each of the mutually opposing surfaces of the two fastener halves to engage and disengage the two fastener halves at will. The fastener half mounted on the vehicle body is provided with a locating structure for preventing the movement of the fastener half from moving along the peripheral edge of the internal flange of the windshield frame. Preferably, the fastener half mounted on the vehicle body is provided with a seating surface, and the fastener half attached to the windshield is provided with a projection which rests upon the seating surface so that the weight of the windshield can be conveniently supported by this seating surface, and the mounting of the windshield can be thereby more efficiently and accurately carried out.
