Abstract
A window assembly specifically for the rear hatch opening of a motor vehicle is provided which is pivotally moveable between an open position and includes an exterior surface mounted completely flush with adjacent surfaces of the vehicle body. In a preferred embodiment, a mounting bracket interconnects an adjustable support member and a glass panel of the window assembly through an adhesive bond. The mounting bracket includes a generally planar mounting portion and a tab portion. The mounting portion is generally curvilinear with the laterally opposing sides in parallel relationship to one another. The curvilinear configuration of the mounting portion functions to oppose a bending moment imparted by the adjustable support member as a result of pivotal movement of the glass panel between its open and closed positions.
