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. A flat washer shaped member, preferably formed of nylon, and having a central aperture and a plurality of circumferentially spaced axially extending angular projections partially overlying the central aperture and having humps at about the mid-section of the axially extending surfaces have become known as "window things", because they do so many good things so well. The inner ends of the axially extending members are of slightly less diameter than are the precut internal diameter of the holes in the replacement window. These members, being formed of nylon, will deflect inwardly sufficiently to permit the slightly enlarged humps of the "window things" to be snapped through the precut holes in the replacement windows. The window is then aligned with the regulator, and the screw is threaded through the regulator and through the "window things" at the flat side of the assembly and through the replacement glass to deflect the axially extending members outwardly to securely clamp the window to the regulator.
