Abstract
A window assembly includes fixed panes, a sliding pane, and a vehicle mounting frame. The mounting frame includes a unitary, substantially full-circumference frame member. The frame member includes a show surface that may extend above or below a window opening opened and closed by the sliding pane. A reinforcement is at least partially embedded in the frame member and has a portion located behind the show surface. Interior surfaces of the fixed panes may be molded to the frame member, and the exterior surface of the fixed panes may free of the frame. A laterally outboard portion of the peripheral edge of each fixed pane may be covered by the frame member.
