Abstract

A device encloses the border of the window of a motor vehicle. The device includes an elastic frame formed as an angled strip of a flexible, ductile metal or of a thermoplastic. The angled strip includes a leg portion projecting beyond the outer edge of the window. The leg portion turns inward towards the window and forms an encircling channel adapted to receive a trim strip. The angled strip is shaped such that a portion adjacent the planar surface of the window is spaced apart from the surface of the window to define a channel. The angled strip is provided with through-passages allowing the introduction of an adhesive or an adhesive plastic into the channel. The adhesive passes through the through-passages, into the channel, in the direction of the window surface to adhere the window to the angled strip. For this purpose, it is provided according to the invention that the through-passages are designed and arranged such that they are in connection with the channel which permits the adhesive to run onto the end surface of the window.
