Abstract
A vehicular glass window panel assembly includes a glass panel having an inner side and an outer side, and a handle and catch element adhesively bonded along a first perimeter region of the inner side. The handle and catch element includes a handle portion and a catch configured for engaging a latching element of a vehicle when the window panel assembly is mounted at the vehicle to close over an aperture of the vehicle. The handle and catch element is formed as a single component via a plastic injection molding process. With the latching element engaged with the catch, the window panel assembly is secured at the vehicle. With the latching element disengaged from the catch, the window panel assembly is removable from the vehicle. With the window panel assembly removed from the vehicle, the handle portion is graspable by a user to carry the window panel assembly.
