Abstract A windshield is attached to the windshield frame of an automobile by a generally U-shaped easily removable member which is clamped to a flange portion of the frame, and an adhesive material joining the windshield to the easily removable member. This facilitates removal of the windshield from the frame without the necessity of removing the adhesive material from between the frame and the windshield proper.
