Abstract: A window apparatus for a vehicle comprising a vehicle body, a window glass, a lock means provided on the window glass, and a link-type hinge means which is provided on the vehicle body and is connected to the window glass through the lock means. When the window glass is closed or opened at a predetermined angle, the window glass and the link-type hinge means are connected together by the lock means, thereby enabling the window glass to be retained. When the lock means is unlocked, the window glass is disengaged from the link-type hinge means, thereby enabling the window glass to be fully opened. Accordingly, it is possible to readily take out luggage or the like in the compartment from the window without the need to open the door of the vehicle from the outside. Further, the link-type hinge means in this apparatus is designed so that there is no fear of a lock handle moving when the window glass is to be closed. Thus, it is possible to smoothly engage the lock handle with the lock means.
