ABSTRACT:
A window assembly for modifying the appearance of a vehicle body. The window assembly comprises a glass fiber reinforced polyester panel adapted to bridge a body opening. The polyester panel has at least one opening smaller and of a different configuration than the body opening and is formed with a peripheral rabbet projecting into the smaller opening. An insert complementary in shape to the smaller opening is positioned in the latter adjacent the rabbeted periphery. The insert may take the form of a window pane, a louvered panel, a lamp housing lens, or other substantially planar article. The insert is held in place by an injection moldable elastomeric material that in cured condition integrally interlocks the periphery of the insert to the rabbet of the polyester panel.
