A window assembly for a vehicle provides at least one fixed panel or window and a movable panel or window. A one piece frame is formed which includes a perimeter frame and at least one dividing member. The window panel assembly may be adapted for a vehicle door, whereby the fixed window panel is secured to the dividing member and a portion of the perimeter frame, while the movable window panel slidably engages a portion of the perimeter frame with one edge and the dividing member with the other edge, which is opposite the first edge. A rail or guide member is secured to the second edge of the movable panel for slidable engagement with the dividing member. The rail member and guide member allow the movable window panel and fixed window panel to form a substantially flush, continuous, planar surface across their adjacent edges, while still providing a substantially airtight seal therebetween. Alternately, the window panel assembly may be adapted for a back lite of the vehicle, whereby the movable window panel slidably engages a pair of dividing members. A fixed window panel is positioned between each of the dividing members and a side leg of the perimeter frame.
