Vehicle window assembly

摘要

A vehicle window assembly includes a body structure, a hinge structure, and a covering panel. The covering panel overlies an inboard side of a window opening, and comprises a hanging loop with a hanging section. The hinge structure comprises a hinge base and a hinge cover, and is attached to the upper portion of the body structure. The hinge cover attaches to the hinge base to form a loop support portion between the hinge base and the hinge cover, and to enclose a hanging loop, preventing removal of the hanging loop. The loop support portion enables the hanging loop to be movable between a secured position in which the hanging section is positioned adjacent the inboard end of the hinge base, and an unsecured position in which the hanging section is disposed adjacent the outboard end of the hinge base.
