A motor vehicle glazing (1) prepared for installation according to the adhesive process is provided with a profiled spacer (8) produced by extrusion of an extrudable polymer directly onto glazing (1) and subsequent setting. During installation of glazing (1) in the window opening of the motor vehicle body, profiled spacer (8) acts as an intermediate member between glazing (1) and assembly adhesive extrudate (13). Profiled spacer (8) is provided along its outer periphery with a lip portion (10) projecting beyond peripheral area (3) of glazing (1). In the installed position of glazing (1), lip portion (10) rest against the window frame flange (4) running parallel to peripheral area (3) of glazing (1) and acts, upon insertion of the glazing during the setting process of assembly adhesive (13), as a support and centering element for glazing (1). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention provides a profiled spacer which acts as a support and centering element for the glazing.
The profiled spacer includes a lip portion which is oriented approximately parallel to the glazing surface and which projects beyond the peripheral or edge of the glazing.
The lip portion, in the installation position of the glazing, rests against the flange of the window frame running parallel to the peripheral area of the glazing.
The profiled spacer described in the invention is dimensioned in thickness and length so that the lip portion may deform during insertion of the glazing into the window frame.
The lip portion is bent from about 45 to 90 degrees relative to the original orientation of the lip portion.
While the lip portion of the spacer carries the dead weight of the glazing on the one side, it simultaneously assumes the centering and sealing function for the surrounding gap between the peripheral area of the glazing and the flange of the window frame opposite the peripheral area.
This results in said gap having a constant width.
The covering of said gap by an additional sealing or decorative profile is therefore, no longer necessary.
Hence, an extraordinarily economical solution is provided by the invention.
If the said gap remaining between the peripheral area of the glazing and the opposite flange of the window opening of the body is not covered by an additional sealing or decorative profile, the lip portion projecting beyond the peripheral area of the glazing is outwardly visible.
In this case, special measures must be taken to configure the transition zone between the beginning and the end of the extruded profile spacer to obtain a continuous spacer.
