Fixed windshield panes, rear window panes and quarter window panes are mounted on adhesive beads deposited on flanges in respective openings in the bodies of vehicles. In order to maintain a gap between a top edge of one of these fixed window panes and a roof panel, a pair of spacers, made of foam material, are positioned between the bead of adhesive and a rim portion of the roof panel prior to mounting the fixed glass pane. The spacers each have a first portion adjacent the bead and a second portion between the top edge of the fixed glass pane and the rim. Either during or after curing of the bead of adhesive retaining the fixed glass window pane, the second portions of the spacers are torn away leaving open the gap between the top edge of the fixed glass pane and the roof panel at locations of the spacers.
