METHOD FOR INSERTING A MOTOR VEHICLE WINDOW IN THE FRAME OF A MOTOR VEHICLE BODY AND METHOD SUITABLE FOR THE INVENTION

摘要

A rigid window pane having an edge is mounted in a rigid window opening having a rigid border with an annular gasket by first providing on the outer periphery of the gasket a layer of adhesive and fitting the gasket around the edge of the pane. Then the pane carrying the gasket is fitted to the window opening with the adhesive layer engaging the opening border and at the same time the pane carrying the gasket is heated and pressed into this opening to soften the gasket until it externally deforms plastically to complementarily fit the opening border. Subsequently the gasket is cooled and cured so it hardens and retains the shape imparted to it by the heat and pressure. The gasket is formed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin or of a vulcanizable or polymerizable, that is heat-curing, synthetic resin or rubber. The polymerization can include the processes of polycondensation or polyaddition.
