ABSTRACT:
A vehicle midgate includes a generally U-shaped reinforcement member that cooperates with an inner panel and an outer panel to define a cavity for containing a selectively retractable window. The U-shaped reinforcement member has a closed cross section so as to form a channel separate from the cavity. The reinforcement member provides increased stiffness and improved water management inside the midgate.
