An elongate glazing component such as a water-tray mounting profile (11) is attached to an automotive glazing (10) adjacent an edge (13) thereof so that it extends along at least part of the edge. At least one small, generally flat reinforcing member (15) is bonded by an adhesive (45) to the inner face (16) of the glazing (10) adjacent the glazing component (13), each reinforcing member having a contact area (46) for bonding to the inner face of the glazing, and a flange (47) which extends over part of the elongate glazing component and is in contact with it. The flange may be generally parallel to the inner face (16) of the glazing. Preferably the adhesive is cured by ultraviolet light and shrinks on curing. This property may be used to compress an attachment limb (38) of the water-tray mounting profile (11), thereby holding it more securely. The arrangement may be used to attach a water-tray (31) to a windscreen (10) of a vehicle without support from the vehicle bodywork (50). |
