A sliding window assembly for use with a motor vehicle such for example as the rear window of the cab of a pickup type truck. A guide structure mounts a sliding pane for longitudinal sliding movement generally parallel to the plane of the pane between an open position and a closed position, and a lateral thrust mechanism is provided which is operative in response to arrival of the pane in its closed position to thereafter move the pane laterally relative to the plane of the pane into a position wherein the exposed face of the pane is flush with a surrounding vehicle surface such for example as the surface defined by fixed panes in the rear window of a pickup truck. The lateral movement of the pane is accomplished by a guide pin on the glass received in a compound guide slot defined by a fixed guide structure, a slider slidably mounted in a fixed guide structure for movement parallel to the plane of the pane, and a drive mechanism interconnecting the pane and the slider and operative with the pin positioned in a first portion of the compound slot to move the glass along the fixed guide structure in a direction generally parallel to the plane of a pane and operative with the pin positioned in a second angled portion of the compound slot to move the glass pane laterally relative to the plane of the pane.
