A support for a vehicle window includes a body first, second and third portions that define a channel between them adapted to receive the window therein. The first portion has a first surface that defines one side of the channel, the second portion has a second surface that defines an opposite side of the channel and the third portion has a third surface that defines a base of the channel. The first portion includes a breakable area that is located at a junction between the first surface and third surface, or the breakable area is located between the third surface and a free end of the first portion and is adapted to break under a lower force than are other portions of the body so that the second portion and third portion of the body are separated from the first portion.

A vehicle may include: a window frame; a window glass pane configured to be manually raised and lowered with respect to the window frame; a hook fixed to an inner surface of the window glass pane; a bracket fixed to the window frame and configured to engage with the hook in a state where the window glass pane is in a fully closed position; and a cover covering a lower end of the bracket. A surface of the bracket may include a portion exposed from the cover, the portion being configured to be in contact with the hook in a state where the bracket engages with the hook.

A vehicle window assembly is provided. The vehicle window assembly includes a glass pane, an encapsulation fixed to an edge of the glass pane, a first insert mounted on the encapsulation, and a molding mounted on the first insert. The first insert is movably mounted on the encapsulation. An elastic portion is disposed at an abutting position of the first insert and a side wall of the encapsulation. The vehicle window assembly is configured to be mounted on a sheet metal. When the vehicle window assembly is mounted on the sheet metal, the side wall of the encapsulation faces the sheet metal. The elastic portion is pressed to generate a pre-tightening force that makes the first insert move towards the sheet metal, to drive the molding and make the molding be attached to the sheet metal.

A glass fastening system includes a glass portion, a support structure defining a recess, a first adhesive layer disposed on an exterior surface of the glass portion facing the recess in the support structure, a second adhesive layer disposed within the recess of the support structure, and a fastener having a first portion secured to the first adhesive layer and a second portion extending away from the first portion and into the second adhesive layer to secure the glass portion to the support structure.

An electrically heatable laminated automotive glazing unit including an exterior glass sheet that is curved and tempered and a thin glass interior sheet that is also tempered, these sheets being joined by means of a thermoplastic interlayer sheet. The glazing unit is configured to receive mechanical moving and/or fastening means and a portion of the exterior sheet is not covered by the thin interior sheet. The glazing unit is fastened in the zone not covered by the thin sheet, and the glazing unit includes at least one electrically heatable zone comprising (i) a substantially transparent, electrically conductive coating layer and (ii) spaced busbars adapted to supply electrical voltage across the substantially transparent, electrically conductive coating layer. The spaced busbars are placed in the portion of the exterior sheet which is not covered by the thin interior sheet.

A panel for use in an open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a substantially rectangular panel main body made of transparent material, and at least one elongated reinforcing bracket positioned at least partly in the vicinity of an edge of said panel main body and firmly connected thereto. The panel bracket is made of a material which is thinner than that of the material of the panel main body and includes a structure to fix the reinforcing bracket to an operating mechanism configured to support the panel and control movements thereof. The edge of the panel main body comprises at least an inward recess and the reinforcing bracket comprises at least an upward step into the recess. The upward step extends along at least a portion of the recess and is dimensioned to accommodate a part of the operating mechanism under it.

A roof arrangement of a motor vehicle, the roof arrangement having a fixed roof element which is disposed rigidly and so as to not be displaceable with respect to a roof substructure and comprises a flat glass or plastic panel, and the roof arrangement having a headliner having a liner element, which forms an inner viewing area and which is connected to the fixed roof element. The fixed roof element has a mold portion manufactured according to a foaming process or injection molding process which is molded onto the glass or plastic panel and on which a fastening geometry is molded, to which the liner element is fastened.

This invention is directed to a structure and a method of sealing the structure as it is manufactured. The method uses a combination of thermoplastic sealants in the form of films and a substrate encapsulated tape.

Mobile accommodation, comprising a wall (10) with a wall opening (20) bounded by an edge. Received in the wall opening is a casing frame (30) which is intended and configured to comprise an openable or non-openable panel (25). The casing frame extends outside the wall opening on a first side of the wall while it is fixed in the wall opening by means of fixation means. The casing frame comprises for this purpose an insertion cavity (35) accessible from an opposite side of the wall. The fixation means comprise at least one fastening clip (60) which at a first outer end comprises an insertion member (65) which protrudes into the insertion cavity (35) in order to effect a durable mutual connection therein, and at a second outer end supports directly or indirectly on the wall.

A vehicle may include: a window frame; a window glass pane configured to be manually raised and lowered with respect to the window frame; a hook fixed to an inner surface of the window glass pane; a bracket fixed to the window frame and configured to engage with the hook in a state where the window glass pane is in a fully closed position; and a cover covering a lower end of the bracket. A surface of the bracket may include a portion exposed from the cover, the portion being configured to be in contact with the hook in a state where the bracket engages with the hook.
