Vehicle window glazing prepared for fixing by bonding

摘要

The vehicle window (1) has an elastomer surround (5) with an open channel. The channel is facing towards the adjacent portion of the vehicle body (15) forming the window opening. The channel has inner anchoring projections to engage with an adhesive (16) connecting the window to the body. The adhesive sticks to the vehicle body, but not to the elastomer surround, with which it engages mechanically once it has set. The joint between the surround and adhesive contains a cord (10) which separates at least part of the surround from the adhesive when pulled so that the window can be removed more easily. The cord is situated at the bottom of the inner edge of the channel and it has a coating which reduces or neutralises its adhesion. Its two ends can project from the channel so they can be gripped for removal.
