The door-glass
bond-on brackets with integral leaf springs are an industry first replacing
steel with plastics and accommodating the compound curvature of the side-door
glass. Plastic brackets provide adequate deflection for glass movement in 6ยบ of
freedom, yet are sufficiently stiff to prevent slippage of glass inside the
track during operation. This application provided a 50% weight reduction and
30% cost reduction vs. steel and provides quieter operation of glass.
