Flush-closing vehicle door window - has internal peripheral frame attached to glazing panel, engaging edges of door frame in closed position

摘要

The vehicle door has outer (2) and inner (3) metal panels, which enclose between them the movable window assembly. The upper part of the door forms a frame (4) for sliding reception of the window panel. The glazing panel (7) is curved, and includes a rigid reinforcing frame (8) attached to its inner, concave face. The frame has a cross-section such that, in cooperation with the glazing panel, it forms a U-section trough which engages around the door frame in the closed position. ADVANTAGE - Improved security of closure and vehicle body aerodynamics.
