What are disclosed are a poly(meth)acrylate polymer having pendant hydrolyzable alkoxysilane groups thereon prepared by reacting a poly(meth)acrylate polymer having pendant hydroxy groups thereon with an isocyanato functional alkoxysilane having 1 to 3 hydrolyzable lower alkoxy groups present on the silicon atom thereof; a substrate such as glass or aluminum having a tenacious coating thereon of such a polymer alone or in admixture with another, different, resinous binder component; such a substrate further having a resinous sealant composition applied over said tenacious coating as a primer; and methods for making such a polymer and such coated substrates.
