Abstract: A window glass spacer is provided which includes a base. The base has a tapered recess for locating and centering the base on a frame of a vehicle. The base has, on opposite sides, clip-type clamps for connecting the base with a frame of an automotive vehicle adjacent a bottom end of a window glass opening. A cantilever support arm is connected with the base and a compliant pad is connected on the arm to support the window glass in a direction generally perpendicular to a major plane of the window glass. A plurality of cantilever spring fingers extend from the base. Each finger has a window glass support member provided on the end of the cantilever spring finger. The cantilever fingers having a serially decreasing length so that the position of the window glass with respect to a top end of the window glass opening can remain constant despite variations in window glass opening dimensions.

Abstract: A vehicle grille mounting bracket is attached to a protrusion of the interior face of a vehicle grille, thereby positioning a mounting screw within the protrusion. A screwdriver engaging recess in the head of the mounting screw is of less width than the space between adjacent substantially vertical spaced apart grille bars. The grille is then positioned in close proximity with the front end of the vehicle. A screwdriver blade is applied to the head of the mounting screw, thereby driving the screw into a nut on a grille mounting structure on the front end of the vehicle, thereby securing the vehicle grille with positive fastening means to the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle grille mounting apparatus is partially hidden from a viewpoint directly in front of the vehicle.
