August 13, 2003
A glazing (1) is provided comprising a glass sheet (2) with a member (3, 4) bonded to it by adhesive which is provided on at least two discrete areas (22, 32) of the member or glass sheet. The adhesive may be a structural adhesive, pre-applied in tablet form, and activated by heat. The use of multiple discrete areas of adhesive allows differential thermal expansion to be accommodated. The glazing may be for a vehicle window, and the member may be a plate, especially a mounting plate for ancillary equipment.
