Abstract

See full text

The present invention comprises a vehicle accessory mounting button, windshield arrangement and a method for making the same which uses nonelastomeric, thermosetting, structural adhesives, preferably in film form, to adhere the accessory mounting button to the interior surface of a windshield. The adhesives provide outstanding long-term adhesion and good accessory assembly vibration performance even under rigorous climate conditions while simultaneously being compatible with conventional autoclaving processes used in windshield manufacturing. Thermosetting structural adhesives suitable to achieve the objectives of this invention include modified epoxies, which have a cure temperature below 325.degree. F., a modulus of elasticity at 85.degree. C. of at least about 10,000 psi when cured, and are compatible with current windshield manufacturing processes.
