ABSTRACT:
A window glass holder comprises a pair of axially spaced plate members having coaxial through-bores defined therein. A first one of the plate members has a protrusion which comprises a shoulder portion and an inclined ramp portion. The second one of the plate members has a metal nut member embedded therein. When a window glass is to be inserted into the window glass holder, the bottom edge portion of the window glass is inserted into the space defined between the pair of plate members such that the bottom edge portion of the window glass encounters the inclined ramp portion of the first plate member causing the first plate member to move away from the second plate member. When a through-bore defined within the window glass is coaxial with the through-bore and protrusion of the first plate member, the protrusion will be snap-fittingly engaged within the through-bore of the window glass whereby the window glass will be fixedly retained within the window glass holder. A threaded bolt fastener can be inserted through through-bores of the rail member, the plate members of the window glass holder, and the window glass so as to threadedly engage the nut member of the second plate member whereby the window glass holder and the window glass are fixedly secured to the rail member.
