Abstract
A windshield edge assembly (31) for stretch forming to fit on the edge (81) of a curved boat windshield. The edge assembly (31) includes an elongated base member (32) having legs defining a windshield receiving channel (34) and a longitudinally extending cap receiving structure (37). An elongated cap member (38) is mounted on the cap receiving structure (37) of the base member (32) and the cap (32) has side edges (51,52) cooperatively formed to interlock with the structure (37) provided on the base member (32) during stretch forming of the combination. A clamping arm (54) is provided on the concaved side (46) of the assembly (31) to clamp against the cap member (38) and capture it in interlocked relation with the base member (32). The cap member (38) is preferably a roll formed stainless steel, while the base member (32) is preferably an extruded aluminum member. A method of stretch forming a curved edge assembly (31) for a boat windshield also is disclosed.
