    Abstract: A method for manufacturing vehicular slider window assembly includes providing at least one fixed window panel and a perimeter seal having elongated sealing portions joined at respective corner regions. Each of the elongated sealing portions includes a base portion, an elongated sealing lip and an attachment element. The perimeter seal is adhesively attached at the fixed window panel. The corner regions are sealed at the at least one fixed window panel via dispensing a sealant through a passageway formed at an end of the base portion of respective ones of the elongated sealing portions at the respective corner regions to fill a gap between adjacent end regions of the respective attachment elements at the respective corner regions at the surface of the at least one fixed window panel. A movable window panel is disposed at upper and lower rails of the at least one fixed window panel.

    Abstract: A vehicular slider window assembly includes a movable window panel that is movable along rails at an opening of a fixed window panel. A perimeter seal is disposed at a surface of the fixed window panel and circumscribes the opening and is configured to seal against a surface of the movable window panel when the movable window panel is in a closed position. The perimeter seal includes elongated sealing portions joined at respective corner regions, with adjacent end regions of attachment elements of the sealing portions being spaced from one another at the respective corner regions such that there is a gap between the adjacent end regions. With the attachment elements attached at the surface of the fixed window panel, a sealant is dispensed into the gaps via passageways to seal the corner regions of the perimeter seal at the fixed window panel.

    Abstract: A slider window assembly for a vehicle includes at least one fixed window panel and a movable window panel that is movable along upper and lower rails at the fixed window panel(s). The lower rail includes a U-shaped channel and an attaching side for attaching the lower rail at the fixed window panel(s). The lower rail includes a water drainage channel established at the attaching side and having an upper water drainage channel and a lower water drainage channel. The upper water drainage channel has an inlet at an upper edge of the lower rail at the fixed window panel. Water flowing along the upper edge of the lower rail flows into the upper water drainage channel and down the upper water drainage channel and into and along the lower water drainage channel and out of the slider window assembly.

    Abstract: A vehicular window assembly includes a window panel attached at a mounting structure. The window panel has an electrically conductive trace established at a surface of the window panel. The electrically conductive trace includes a positive end electrically connected to a positive terminal at the window panel and a negative end electrically connected to a negative terminal at the window panel. The electrically conductive trace includes a plurality of spaced apart trace segments disposed across the surface of the window panel. The plurality of spaced apart trace segments are electrically connected in series between the positive terminal and the negative terminal. With the vehicular window assembly mounted at the vehicle, a power supply of the vehicle is electrically connected to the positive terminal and the negative terminal to provide electrical power to the electrically conductive trace. Voltage supplied by the power supply is greater than 15 volts.

    Abstract: A method for forming a vehicular slider window assembly includes providing a fixed window panel defining an open and attaching upper and lower rails at the fixed window panel. The method includes providing a filler including a filler body and a deformable element along each opposing side wall of the filler body. The method includes forming at least one end of opposite ends of the filler body at an oblique angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the filler body. The filler is disposed in a channel of the upper rail. A movable window panel is provided at the upper and lower rails with an upper region of the movable window panel received in the filler. Each of the deformable elements includes a compressible and flexible material and provides a dampening and cushioning function at the movable window panel received in the filler in the channel of the upper rail.

    Abstract: A vehicular slider window assembly includes a frame having upper and lower rails. A fixed window has an opening and the rails are attached at the fixed window. A movable window is movable between a closed position and an opened position. A carrier disposed at a lower edge of the movable window moves with the movable window between the opened and closed positions. A sensing system determines when the movable window is in the closed position and includes a switch assembly that is actuated when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch assembly includes a switch device within a housing. A portion of the housing is an end stop configured to limit movement of the carrier when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch device includes a contact and, when the movable window is in the closed position, the contact actuates the switch device.

    Abstract: A vehicular window assembly includes a window panel having an inner side and an outer side separated from the inner side by a thickness of the window panel. The window panel has a perimeter edge that spans between the inner side and the outer side. A perimeter frame includes a plastic inner frame portion and a polymeric outer frame portion disposed at an outer surface of the inner frame portion. The inner frame portion has an attaching element that is adhesively bonded at the inner side of the window panel to attach the perimeter frame to the window panel. With the attaching element adhesively bonded at the inner side of the window panel, the outer frame portion receives and seals against the perimeter edge of the window panel.

    Abstract: A window assembly for a vehicle includes a window panel that has an electrically conductive trace established at a surface of the window panel. The electrically conductive trace includes a single continuous electrically conductive trace that has a positive end for electrically connecting to a positive terminal and a negative end for electrically connecting to a negative terminal. The electrically conductive trace includes a plurality of spaced apart trace segments disposed across the surface of the window panel and a plurality of connecting trace segments that electrically connect adjacent ends of adjacent trace segments, with each connecting trace segment electrically connecting to adjacent ends of only two adjacent trace segments. An electrical connector is connected to the positive and negative terminals at the window panel to provide electrical power to the electrically conductive trace. The provided electrical power may be from a 48 volt power supply of the vehicle.
