Seamless Flipper Window

To accommodate multiple roof heights and wheelbase length options on this van while providing customers with an uninterrupted glass appearance for both fixed and moveable windows (with no exposed hardware and a low-profile inside latch), a hole-in-glass, window-within-a-window concept was used.  A separate flip-glass panel is bonded to glass and assembled to an injection-molded engineered plastic framework, which carries the sealing and water-management system. This enabled a single flange configuration to be used for either fixed or moveable window options. Significant weight and cost savings plus assembly time reductions were achieved vs. traditional designs while also improving fit-to-body and achieving best-in-class sealing and water management.
