  • Arrangement for releasable mounting of a window pane in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 5988730
    Abstract: A window pane mounting arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a molded-on edge part which has an adhesive application surface for the application of an adhesive to connect the edge part to a fastening flange in a window opening of the motor vehicle, the connection between the edge part and the fastening flange being releasable by a pushing or pulling force applied to the window pane. In order to reduce the consumption of adhesive, to shorten waiting times until the adhesive has hardened, and to prevent soiling of adjacent components, the adhesive application surface is formed on an adhesive application profile which is releasably connected to the edge part and can be released from the edge part by exerting the pushing or pulling force on the window pane.
