A vehicle rear portion structure that comprises: a first glass that is provided at a vehicle rear portion, and at which is formed a sunken portion that is sunken-in further toward a substantially vehicle lower side than portions adjacent thereto in a vehicle transverse direction; a connecting portion that is provided between the first glass and a second glass, and that leads drainage water, which flows from the sunken portion, to the second glass; and an additional member having a guide portion that extends toward a vehicle rear side from an upper portion of the second glass, and that guides the drainage water from the connecting portion to a position that is away, toward a vehicle rear side, from a vehicle rear side surface of the second glass.

Embodiments of a laminate including a first curved glass substrate comprising a first viscosity (poises) at a temperature of 630? C.; a second curved glass substrate comprising a second viscosity that is greater than the first viscosity at a temperature of 630? C.; and an interlayer disposed between the first curved glass substrate and the second curved glass substrate, are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the first curved glass substrate exhibits a first sag depth that is within 10% of a second sag depth of the second curved glass substrate. In one or more embodiments, the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate exhibit a shape deviation therebetween of about ?5 mm or less as measured by an optical three-dimensional scanner or exhibit minimal optical distortion. Embodiments of vehicles including such laminates and methods for making such laminates are also disclosed.

A window assembly (150) of a side window opening of a motor vehicle comprises a door frame member (22) having an outer surface (26), a movable window pane (130) having an outer window surface (132) and a guiding means (140), and a window guiding profile (100). The window guiding profile (100) is fastened to the door frame member (22) and guides the window pane (130) along a direction of movement between an open position and a closed position. The window guiding profile (100) includes a sealing portion (105) for sealing the window pane (130), an accommodating opening (104), and a guiding leg (101). The guiding leg (101) comprises a locating means (110) which cooperates with the guiding means (140) to prevent a movement of the window pane (130) out of the accommodating opening (104).

The present invention refers to a bullet- and blast-resistant window, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, which comprises a ballistic block having a peripheral face and a plurality of panes of glass, ceramic or plastic material bonded to each other over their surfaces in a layered composite, and interposed bonding interlayers of plastic material or adhesive, wherein an edge groove having slopes at least partly inclined for engagement with a part of the vehicle body and extending on and along at least a part of the peripheral edge of the window.

A windshield and a vehicle having a windshield are provided. The windshield includes a right-side bulging portion disposed at a right-side lower portion, a left-side bulging portion disposed at a left-side lower portion, and at least one protrusion disposed at an upper edge.

A laminated plate includes first and second plates bonded to each other via an intermediate layer. The laminated plate includes a first main surface of the first plate opposite to the intermediate layer; a second main surface of the first plate and a third main surface being in contact with the intermediate layer; a fourth main surface of the second plate opposite to the intermediate layer. A thickness of the first plate is thicker than a thickness of the second plate. In a planar view, the laminated plate includes a peripheral region and an in-plane region. In a cross section orthogonal to an outer periphery of the laminated plate, a distance from an outermost periphery of the second plate to the first plate in a thickness direction with respect to the outermost periphery is three times or less a distance between the first and second plates in the in-plane region.

A glazed element includes a first glazing having a first main face and a second main face, and an opening, the opening defining an inner wall of the first glazing and extending along a thickness of the first glazing, and an infrared light transmission system fixedly mounted to the first glazing and inserted in the opening.

A structure for fixing a delta glass for a vehicle is provided to fix and support a rear end portion of the glass on a door frame from which a C-pillar is omitted. The structure includes a delta outer reinforcing panel that is fixed on an upper portion of a door inner panel at a rear end portion of a door frame. A delta inner reinforcing panel is fixed to be positioned inside the delta outer reinforcing panel. A rear channel is installed between the delta outer reinforcing panel and the delta inner reinforcing panel to allow a rear end portion of the delta glass to be inserted into and supported by the rear channel. Additionally, a delta garnish is installed to cover the outside of the delta outer reinforcing panel and the delta glass is fixed between the rear channel and a division channel installed on the door frame.

A vehicle includes a window having an internal opening defined by an angled edge forming a clear space generally shaped as a truncated pyramid. An operable window panel is slidable relative to the internal opening to define open and closed positions. A compressible elastic sealing member is disposed along the angled edge, wherein the sealing member defines a substantially convex profile when the operable window panel in the open position. A guide assembly is positioned adjacent an interior surface of the window and adapted to guide the operable window panel between the open and closed positions. The closed position is defined by an outer surface of the operable window panel being co-planar with an exterior surface of the window. The closed position is further characterized by the sealing member being deformed to occupy at least the seam defined between the window and the operable window panel.
