ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for sealing and retaining a window glass (such as a motor vehicle windshield) in an opening is disclosed for use where the window opening has a surrounding flange directed inwardly of the opening. A series of U-shaped metal clips are placed onto the flange at intervals. Each clip additionally has at least two arms which project outwardly of the opening from near to the free edge of one leg of each clip, the arms of each clip being provided with teeth and together defining a mouth. A continuous channel-shaped flexible strip structure is then placed over the U-shaped clips and the flange between the clips, but so as to leave the projecting arms clear. The strip structure includes two outwardly projecting sealing lips, against which the window glass seats. A beading, of T-shape in cross-section, is then placed around the entire periphery of the window glass, with the leg of the T extending into the mouths provided by the projecting arms on each clip and locking with the teeth therein. The beading serves a decorative, sealing and retaining function.
