ABSTRACT:
An automobile rear window structure for closing a rear window opening formed in an automobile body, the opening having front and rear edges and opposite sides. The window closing structure includes a pair of rear pillars extending along both sides of the rear window opening and having trough sections formed therein. Transparent material closing the rear opening includes a rear section and a pair of side sections positioned on opposite sides of the rear section. The side sections have transverse curvatures which are contiguous with a transverse curvature of the rear section. The rear section is formed separately from the side sections and is arranged to cover the rear window opening and has an upper end hinged to the body for swinging movement between closed and open positions. The side sections are secured to the vehicle body at transversely outside portions of the pillars, with edges of the sections extending over the pillars so that the rear section and side sections provide a contiguous contour when the rear section is closed. Seals are provided to ensure water tightness.
