The roof portion includes a front header portion and a rear header portion and a glass panel mounting portion or trough at each of the header portions. The assembled vehicle may be water tested at the vehicle assembly plant, with the roof portion attached thereto. The assembled vehicle may be transported to an external provider for installing the glass roof module, where a center roof panel portion of the roof portion is removed by cutting the roof portion at or near the mounting portions or troughs. A glass roof module having a glass roof panel is set onto the mounting portions or troughs and is attached to the mounting portions or troughs.

Abstract: A window module for a school bus includes a frame, a fixed window panel affixed to a portion of the frame, a perimeter panel secured to another portion of the frame and defining an opening at the other portion of the frame, and a movable window panel. The movable window panel is slidably positioned at the frame such that opposite perimeter edges of the movable window panel are slidably engaged with opposite channel members of the frame. The movable window panel is movable along the channel members and interiorly of the fixed window panel when opened and interiorly of and generally at the perimeter panel when at least partially closed.
