Patent number: 6471283Abstract: A motor-vehicle soft top has a soft-top outer material having an inner edge, an outside face, and an inside face. A glass pane has an outer edge extending along the pane inner edge, an outside face, and an inside face. The inner material edge and outer pane edge overlap each other. A cast plastic frame element extends along the material inner edge and has an outside face bonded to the inside face of the material inner edge. The profile is generally S- or Z-section, having an inside flange carrying the outer pane edge, an outside flange, and a web extending between the flanges. An adhesive strip between an outside face of the inside flange and the inside face of the outer pane edge secures the pane in place.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2001Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Parat Automotive Schonenbach GmbH & Co.
