ABSTRACT:
A frangible window panel mounting system for mounting an automotive window panel onto a window regulating mechanism for raising and lowering the window panel of a vehicle includes a U-shaped spring clip and a mounting flange for attaching the window panel to the window regulating mechanism. The U-shaped spring clip has a horizontal base member and first and second leg members extending upwardly from the base member, thereby forming a U-shaped channel for receiving a bottom edge of a window panel. The mounting flange is downwardly depending from, and coupled to the horizontal base member of the spring clip. The mounting flange is frangible so as to allow the spring clip to detach from a window regulating mechanism upon a side impact of the vehicle to thereby minimize the likelihood that the window panel will shatter.
