Abstract
A window assembly for a vehicle body is disclosed which comprises a side window pane having a peripheral edge surface, a rear window pane having a peripheral edge surface, the peripheral edge of the rear window pane being disposed adjacent the peripheral edge of the side window pane in an operative position of the rear window pane, a first molding strip mounted along at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the side window pane, a second molding strip mounted along at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the rear window pane, support structure for supporting at least the side window pane on the vehicle body, and the first and second molding strips being configured to conceal the support structure from being viewed outwardly of the vehicle and to provide an appearance of a continuous outer surface from the side window pane to the rear window pane. Preferably the outer surface of the second molding strip will be spaced inwardly toward the vehicle a small distance from an imaginary extension of the outer surface of the first molding strip, and inner surfaces of the first and second molding strips will define first and second gaps between the molding strips, the second gap extending continuously from and substantially perpendicular to the first gap.
