ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a vehicle door and window assembly in which the door has a pair of spaced, arcuate sheet metal guide rails and the window adjacent its side edges is secured to a pair of plastic guides which are slidable on the rails for movement through a path of a given radius and with the guides maintaining the windows substantially flush with the adjacent side door structure. The plastic guides have a transverse dimension, as measured between the rails and the outer window surface, which progressively increases proceeding from their upper ends toward their lower ends so that the window has a radius which is greater than the radius of its path of movement whereby the window is moved away from its outer belt line seal when lowered into the door and whereby the window moves both upwardly and outwardly as it is being raised so that it is also substantially flush with the outer belt line of the door when in its closed position.
