ABSTRACT:
The vehicle door has a conventional structurally rigid lower portion which movably mounts a transparent window panel for movement between a lowered opened position stored within the lower portion and a raised closed position. The door also has an arcuate shaped transparent window frame having a lower end fixedly mounted on the door lower portion and extending upwardly along the pillar and along the roof to define a structurally rigid upper edge portion of the door closing the spaced between the transparent window panel and the roof and the piller. The stationary transparent window frame is more curved than the movable window panel so that the vehicle body is dramatically curved and provides an aesthetically pleasing vehicle shape. A transparent seal structure is mounted on the transparent window frame and is engaged by the window panel to provide water tight transparent sealing.
