ABSTRACT:
A modular window assembly includes a glass panel with a peripheral molded PVC frame having an undersurface engageable with a pinchweld flange defining a window opening in a vehicle. A plurality of cylindrical, finned PVC studs are integrally molded to the PVC frame undersurface and are alignable with slots through the pinchweld. A central passage extends axially through each stud, most of the way, but not all the way therethrough. The diameter of each stud is slightly larger than each pinchweld slot. A pin in each central passage, when pushed, stretches the studs, decreases their diameter so that they pass through the pinchweld slots. Releasing the pins lets the studs resiliently return to their original shape to retain the window assembly to the vehicle.
