METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A VEHICLE FROM MODULAR COMPONENTS

摘要

A method of assembling a vehicle includes the steps of forming a plurality of different modular window assemblies each having at least one sheet of transparent material upon which a gasket has been formed. The modular assemblies include a driver's door and window assembly (30), a complementary passenger's door and window assembly (72), a windshield and leaf screen assembly (31) and a rear window assembly (42). Each of the modular window assemblies (30, 31, 42, 72) are manufactured separately and then brought to a vehicle assembly line to be installed in the vehicle body (71).
