A window assembly to be installed to an automotive vehicle body, and a production method of the same. The window assembly is comprised of a plastic molding securely formed at the peripheral section of a transparent glass plate such as a windshield glass of an automotive vehicle, along the whole periphery of the glass plate. The molding is integrally formed with a flange-section tightly cotractable with the surface of an outer panel of the vehicle body, and a projection securely fittable with the vehicle body outer panel when the window assembly is installed to the vehicle body. The molding is further formed with a depression for effectively retaining adhesive between the molding and the vehicle body outer panel. Such a window assembly is produced by setting the peripheral section of the plate glass in a predetermined position in a mold having a cavity, and thereafter injecting molten plastic into the mold cavity thereby to integrally mold the molding with the plate glass in such a manner that the glass plate peripheral section is inserted in the molding.
