Abstract: A marine windshield frame for curved or straight windshield glass having a top frame rail mounted inward of the windshield glass and substantially flush with frontal surface of the windshield glass. The top frame rail is mounted onto the windshield glass edge by adhesive. The windshield frame may also include a pair of vertically oriented corner posts. The corner posts are preferably manufactured by die-cast molding. An alternate manufacturing method is to stretch-form an aluminum alloy extrusion, matching vent holes therein, and machined a taper thereon an edge.

Abstract: A hidden marine windshield mounting system and method, utilizing a cooperative pair of elongated base members, longitudinally extending around the front of and fastened to a marine vessel deck. The two elongated base members cooperatively interlock with one another to form a single windshield mounting base unit, having a substantially vertically erect windshield receiving area for adhesion of most usually, curved windshield tempered glass. Mounted onto the top of the curved windshield glass is an elongated trim member, which may come into contact at its ends, with the ends of the base member pair. The base member pair can be forcibly separable from one another after stretch forming for assembly, installation and for glass replacement.
