In the processes for the production and installation of a pane of glass with a frame, in particular on a vehicle part, the frame is produced as a plastics molding in the form of a closed ring. In these processes, a first bearing surface for the pane of glass and an adhesive bonding surface for the application of an adhesive are formed integrally on one side of the frame, and a second bearing surface for placing against the vehicle part is formed integrally on one of the other sides of the frame. In addition, either a retaining element running around along the frame or a number of anchoring elements or a second adhesive bonding surface for the application of a second adhesive are formed integrally on one of the other side of the frame. The frame may first of all be connected permanently to the pane of glass using an adhesive and then connected removably or permanently to the vehicle part together with the pane of glass by means of the retaining element or the anchoring elements or the second adhesive. The frame may also first of all be connected removably or permanently to the vehicle part by means of the retaining element or the anchoring elements or the second adhesive and then connected permanently to the pane of glass by using an adhesive.
