Abstract

See full text

A rear quarter window assembly (26) for use with a vehicle convertible top (20) is disclosed as including a first rear quarter window (34) movable between closed and open positions by a window regulator (36) and having a rear edge (38) that is spaced forwardly from the raised convertible top frame (22). A second rear quarter window (40) of the window assembly is mounted on the frame (22) of the convertible top for movement between closed and open positions as the convertible top frame is moved between raised and storage positions. This second rear quarter window (40) has a front edge (42) that seals with the rear edge (38) of the first rear quarter window. A seal (44) provides the sealing between the first and second rear quarter windows (34,40) at their rear and forward edges (38,42). The seal (44) preferably includes first and second seal members (46,48) one of which includes a portion (54) located between the rear edge (38) of the first rear quarter window (34) and the front edge (42) of the second rear quarter window (40). A groove and projection construction of the two seal members (46,48) cooperates with the sealing portion (54) to provide sealing between the first and second rear quarter windows (34,40) in the closed window positions with the convertible top raised.
