ABSTRACT:
A coupling between a motor vehicle window panel and a horizontal sash bar below a lower edge of the window panel including a pair of plastic clips rigidly attached to the window panel which hook onto an edge of the sash bar to vertically couple the window panel to the sash bar with zero vertical lash therebetween and a retainer which audibly signals that the plastic clips are hooked to the sash bar and thereafter prevents dislodgment of the plastic clips from the sash bar. In a preferred embodiment, each plastic clip is adhesively bonded to the window panel and hooks onto a flat edge of the sash bar adjacent to respective ones of a pair of access slots in the flat edge. The retainer includes a cantilever spring on each plastic clip which audibly snaps into a notch in the flat edge of the sash bar when each of the plastic clips are fully hooked on the flat edge of the sash bar and which also thrusts the sash bar and the window panel in opposite directions to eliminate horizontal lash between the sash bar and window panel.
