ABSTRACT:
A panel assembly especially adapted for use as a window in vehicles or other structures where the window is raised and lowered, usually by sliding movement via a scissors linkage or other regulator mechanism. The assembly includes a sheet of material, a gasket or casing portion attached along one peripheral edge portion of the sheet, and a bracket slidably mounted on the gasket after the gasket is attached to the sheet. The gasket, which is typically molded from polymeric material, includes one of several types of retainers for holding the bracket on the gasket without requiring fasteners to extend into or through the sheet. A method for slidably mounting the bracket on the gasket after attachment of the gasket to the sheet is also disclosed. The sheet may be transparent or nontransparent glass, polymeric plastic or other materials.
