ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door assembly has a pair of spaced guide channels carried below its belt line which slidably receives pin guides secured to the sides of the lower end portion of the window for guiding the movement of a window between its open and closed positions. The window is bent along a horizontal line so that its exterior surface will be substantially flush with an exterior surface of the door assembly when in its closed position. The door assembly also includes a door frame means which permits lateral movement of the window as it is moved between its open and closed positions and a seal means carried by the door frame which engages the window along its interior sides to bias the same outwardly toward an outer flange on the door frame. The seal means includes a vertically extending dowel portion, preferably a tapered dowel portion, which engages an upper side edge of the window as it approaches its closed position to retain the window outwardly against the outer flange of the door frame means in order to stabilize the window against inward lateral movement when in its closed position. The two side pin guides received in the channels and the dowel provide a triangulated or three point stabilizing means for the window when the latter is in its closed position.
