Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a windscreen glass is shown. Around the top and sides of the windscreen opening, a rubber section is mounted on a bodywork flanged joint, the rubber having embedded in it a metal carrier which has an extension which emerges outside the plastics to provide an exposed stiff metal lip which partially embraces a recess holding mastic. The section of the mounting arrangement along the bottom of the windscreen opening differs in that its metal carrier does not have such extension or the exposed metal lip, and the plastics immediately beneath the recess has a slot into which a stiffening member can be clipped. The windscreen is mounted in position by sliding it upwardly in to the sides and top of the windscreen opening. The glass is thus trapped in position behind the exposed metal lip and sealed and adhesively secured by the mastic.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement for sealing the edge of a window glass comprises a metal channel mounted at least partially around the window opening so as to be open towards the direction along which the edge of the window glass approaches in closing the opening. A hollow rubber tube is secured within this channel. Two flocked leaves are integral with the tube and extend longitudinally along the surface of the tube which faces the distal edge of the window glass. These leaves are parallel to each other and spaced slightly apart so as to define a longitudinally extending open mouth facing the glass edge. The approaching window glass partially flattens the tube and thereby causes the facing surfaces of the leaves to press against the sides of the window glass immediately adjacent its distal edge.
