ABSTRACT:
An articulated window assembly for mounting in a window opening of a vehicle includes a glass sheet, and a first mounting member for hingedly securing the glass sheet to a first area adjacent one edge of the sheet on the inner surface of the sheet for movement between open and closed positions. The mounting member is attached with no exposure on the outer surface. The glass sheet may have an outer surface area of at least 250 square inches. A second mounting member may also be attached to the inner sheet surface at a position spaced from the first mounting member, and may comprise a latch mechanism. Preferably, the mounting members are hidden from view from the outer sheet surface by opaque coatings, such as frit layers, included on the inner sheet surface. The window assembly may be flush mounted in the window opening, and may be a rear side window assembly, a rear window assembly, or a tailgate window assembly.
