Transparent plate with a molding and method for disassembling transparent plate

A method for disassembling a transparent plate with a thermoplastic resin molding unified to a peripheral edge thereof from a window opening of an automobile with the transparent plate assembled thereto by heating the molding, comprising:

• preliminarily providing the transparent plate with an electrically conductive member so as to cover at least one portion of the electrically conductive member with the molding, the electrically conductive member extending substantially parallel to a transparent plate surface;
• bringing an eddy current generator near a surface of the transparent plate to generate heat in the electrically conductive member, thereby softening or melting the molding, and applying an external force to the transparent plate to disassemble the transparent plate from the window opening of the automobile;
• and
• energizing the eddy current generator for less than 30 sec to generate heat in the electrically conductive member.

• bringing an eddy current generator near a surface of the transparent plate with a distance of not less than 15 mm kept therebetween to generate heat in the electrically conductive member, thereby softening or melting the molding, and applying an external force to the transparent plate to disassemble the transparent plate from the window opening of the automobile;
• and
• energizing the eddy current generator for less than 30 sec to generate heat in the electrically conductive member.

A combination of an eddy current generator and a transparent plate with a molding to facilitate removal of said transparent plate from a window opening, said combination comprising:

• an eddy current generator to generate heat in an electrically conductive member;
• at least said transparent plate to be assembled to said window opening and a thermoplastic resin molding unified to a peripheral edge of the transparent plate;
• and
• said molding including an attaching portion to be bonded to at least an interior side of the peripheral edge of the transparent plate and an elastic portion connected to the attaching portion so as to be capable of being in close contact with said window opening;
• wherein the molding has said electrically conductive member insert-molded therein, said electrically conductive member extends substantially parallel to a surface of said transparent plate, and generation of said heat in said electrically conductive member causes softening or melting of said molding to facilitate removal of said transparent plate from said window opening.
