ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a new and simplified method of installing a vehicle window glass in the glass carrier or regulator of a vehicle. By this method the glass can be mounted more securely and in considerably less time than has heretofore been required. An attachment member, preferably formed of plastic or nylon, is provided. The attachment member is reuseable permitting removal and replacement of the existing glass or a replacement glass. The attachment member has a central aperture and a plurality of circumferentially spaced axially extending angular prongs partially overlying the central aperture and having humps at about the mid-section of the extending surfaces. The inner ends of the axially extending members are of slightly less diameter than are the precut internal diameter of the apertures in the replacement window. These prongs, being formed of a slightly pliable material, will deflect inwardly sufficiently to permit the slightly enlarged humps of the attachment member to be snapped through the precut apertures in the replacement windows. By this arrangement the attachment members remain in place while the automobile window glass is positioned by the installation technician. The window is then aligned with the regulator, and the screw is threaded through the aperture of the regulator and through the aperture of the attachment member to deflect the prongs outwardly to securely clamp the window to the regulator.
