A window assembly suitable for use in an articulated side window of a
vehicle comprises a glass panel and one or more hinge mounting members
adhesively bonded to an inner surface of the glass panel such that there
is no exposure on the outer surface of the glass panel. Each mounting
member comprises a generally U-shaped portion comprising a mounting
flange and a tab portion, with an arcuate leg portion interconnecting the
mounting flange and the tab portion, and with the tab portion spaced from
and overlying generally parallel to the mounting flange. A latch mounting
member is adhesively bonded to the inner surface of the glass panel such
that there is no exposure on the outer surface, and preferably comprises
a disk-shaped flange with a stud configured for fitting with a latching
mechanism which is used to move the glass panel between window open and
window closed positions.
