Fastener and method for attaching the fastener to a glazing element

The fastener is intended to be attached to a glazing element, which has a glass sheet and at least one frame part setting against the surface of the glass sheet. The fastener has a support part and a fastening element to be inserted into the gap between the glass sheet and frame. The fastening element comprises a locking element for locking to the surface of the frame part facing the glass sheet. The fastener installed in place remains in place in the gap between the frame part and glass sheet by means of the locking element without any other attachment elements. The locking element can be a locking projection turning to an angle from the plane of the fastening element, a flexible locking tongue turning to an angle from the plane of the fastening element or a rigid locking tip. The support part may comprise gripping means for attaching to the edge rail of the sunshade. In the method the fastener is attached to a glazing element so that at least part of the fastening element of the fastener is inserted into the gap between the glass sheet and frame part and by locking the fastening element to the surface of the frame part facing the glass sheet.
