Abstract: A frame assembly comprised of a pair of frame halves each having an axially extending attachment rib is temporarily secured for storage and transport by detachably clipping the attachment ribs together. The frame halves are disengaged, rotated, and lockingly clipped together for final installation.

Abstract: A window assembly which includes at least some components which may be assembled in a snap-fit manner. In certain example embodiments, a combination of rotation/pivoting insertion, and a snap-fit assembly engagement of one or more components may be utilized in assembly. For example, a component may be engaged with a portion of another component, and then rotated and/or pivoted about a pivot axis until a portion of the component becomes engaged with a part of the window in a snap-fit manner. The combined use of rotation/pivoting about a pivot axis and snap-fit engagement allows for self-alignment to be realized during assembly thereby simplifying the assembly process.
