ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of installing a sunroof in a vehicle which is characterized by the use of an adhesive to bond the sunroof to the vehicle roof. In the preferred embodiment certain mechanical devices are employed in conjunction with the adhesive to reinforce the bond of the sunroof to the roof of the vehicle. For example, mechanical devices, such as U or L trim rings in conjunction with the adhesive not only reinforce the bond between the vehicle roof and the sunroof, but also beautify by hiding the marred edges of the cut-away roof, as well as sealing the raw metal cut-away metal edges from moisture and corrosion.
This invention also relates to the combination of the sunroof installed in the vehicle in the above manner.
