Abstract

See full text

A replaceable or serviceable window forms a portion of the flexible top of a convertible vehicle. The window includes a flexible transparent material which forms the window and a flexible channel retainer which detachably secures the transparent material to the flexible top material. The channel retainer includes a backing member having a longitudinal channel and a locking molding which is lockingly received by the backing member. In a preferred embodiment, the backing member is dielectrically bonded to the transport window material and insertion of the molding sandwiches the top material into the channel retainer. The flexible nature of the window and channel retainer allows the convertible top to be folded into a more compact top stack for storage on the vehicle.
