A spacer for installation along the upper or lower horizontal edge of a vehicle windshield. The spacer is used to maintain the support bracket at a predetermined distance and perpendicular to the surface of the windshield. The spacer includes a first surface for contact with the windshield edge, a second surface for contact with the bracket, and a support surface which works a support element fastened to the bracket for maintaining the bracket substantially perpendicular to the edge of the windshield. The windshield, equipped with the spacer, can thus be positioned by itself by simple alignment of the spacer on the bracket support element while an adhesive is applied between the windshield and bracket and cures without further support.

A vehicle window comprising a glazing; a peripheral sheet metal bracket attached to a vehicle and oriented parallel to the edges of the glazing, said bracket including a support element attached thereto; and a spacer attached to the periphery of the glazing on at least one edge adjacent the bracket for supporting the weight of the glazing and for maintaining the bracket at a predetermined uniform distance away from said glazing, said spacer being provided with a lower peripheral portion having a recess with a cross sectional configuration forming a support surface for contacting said support element on said bracket, said support element being positioned within said recess at an inclined angle so that, as the glazing is positioned on the bracket, the support surface of the spacer contacts the support element and the weight of the glazing exerts a force which directs the glazing toward the bracket.
