Patent ID: 8814256

Claim:
A mounting structure for mounting a film-shaped electric device to a glass panel, comprising: a resin panel attached to a surface of the film-shaped electric device to form a panel-shaped electric device, jointly with the film-shaped electric device, the panel-shaped electric device having a first edge and a second edge; and first and second retaining members attached to one surface of the glass panel in correspondence with the first and second edges of the panel-shaped electric device, respectively, each of the first and second retaining members defining a groove such that the groove opens toward a region of the glass panel to be covered by the panel-shaped electric device, each groove extending between an open end and a closed bottom end, wherein the panel-shaped electric device is retained by the first and second retaining members with the first and second edges of the panel-shaped electric device being received in the grooves defined by the first and second retaining members, respectively, such that the surface of the film-shaped electric device having the resin panel attached thereto faces away from the glass panel, wherein: the glass panel is a sunroof glass panel that is supported by a frame-shaped glass panel holder extending along a periphery of the glass panel and is movable relative to a roof of a vehicle body; and an entirety of each of the first and second retaining members is positioned both outside an inner edge of the glass panel holder and within a containment space defined between the glass panel and the frame-shaped glass panel holder, wherein the first and second retaining members are arranged such that a groove space is formed between the closed bottom end of the groove defined by each of the first and second retaining members and the corresponding edge of the panel-shaped electric device when the panel-shaped electric device is retained by the first and second retaining member.
