ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting a window panel adapted to be raised and lowered by a mechanism is mounted within an automobile door. The automobile door is of the type having a peripheral frame extending upwardly and toward the interior of the vehicle from the window line of the door. The peripheral frame is adapted for supporting the outer periphery of the window panel when the window is in a fully raised position. The apparatus includes a window panel receiving element which is placed along the bottom of the window and has a pair of opposed sides having a first end thereof adapted to be fixedly attached to the inside and outside surface of the window panel. The receiving element has a second end, connected to the first end by a flexible connecting portion. The second end has a pair of downwardly extending leg portions adapted to resiliently engage a window engagement element on the mechanism for raising and lowering the window panel, thereby coupling the window to the mechanism. The length of the flexible connecting portion of the window panel receiving element is predetermined such that the window bottom is spaced above the window line on the door frame when the window panel is in its raised position.
