There is disclosed an elongate window-mounting strip (17) of resiliently deformable material which is adapted to be fitted along a Z-shaped edge (13) of a window aperture defined in a vehicle body. The Z-shaped edge comprises a base portion (14) having a first limb (15) at its inward end which extends in a direction into the window aperture and a second limb (16) at its outward end which extends away from the window aperture. The mounting strip (17) has a body portion (18) which lies alongside the base portion (14) of the window edge,a mounting recess (19) in one side of the body portion and extending longitudinally of the strip so as to receive the first limb (15) of the window edge to mount the strip in the window aperture, and a sealing lip (20) arranged resiliently to engage the outer surface of the second limb (16) of the window edge when the strip is mounted in the window aperture. The body portion (18) is provided with a window-receiving recess (23) in its side opposite to the side having the mounting recess (19). The arrangement of the mounting strip (17) is such that, when the first limb (15) of the window edge enters the mounting recess (19) and the window (24) enters the window-receiving recess (23), the window is "flush-mounted" in that its outer surface (25) substantially forms a prolongation of the outer surface of the second limb (16) of the window edge. The construction of the mounting strip (17) is such that satisfactory retention of the window (24) is achieved, despite the window being mounted further outwardly than conventional windowmountings (so that there is less material of the mounting strip available to resist dislodgement of the window). Firm window retention is achieved by provision of a resiliently deformable flange portion (27) which defines one side of the window-receiving recess (23) and which extends oppositely to the sealing lip (20). A wedge-shaped portion (29) connects the flange portion (27) and the sealing lip (20) to the main body portion (18) of the mounting strip, the wedge-shaped portion (29) being operable to apply a window-gripping force to the flange portion (27) when the mounting strip is mounted in the window aperture and the window is mounted in its recess. |
