Abstract:
A graffiti protected glass window for a vehicle can be quickly refurbished by changing a thin plastic guard window overlying the glass pane. The plastic guard window is retained within a resilient elastomeric mount which also retains the glass pane within the rigid window frame. A window guard seating space is defined along one side in a upper portion of the seating space defined in the mount for accommodating the glass pane. The side of the mount into which the window guard seating space is defined is molded so as to be slightly inwardly inclined to assist in weather sealing the window guard. The mount is selectively locked and unlocked by the use of a conventional locking channel and locking strip. The window guard is easily removed and reinserted using conventional hand tools. The window guard is securely maintained against the window pane, but is able to accommodate differentials in thermal expansion between the window glass and the window guard since their common attachment occurs only by virtue of their common seating within the mount.
