Abstract: A garage door has pivotally connected door panels, with each of the door panels including an outer skin having an outer surface. The outer skin has a metal, such as steel, having a first coefficient of thermal expansion. An overlay element, such as a decorative element, is coupled to the outer surface of at least one of the outer skins. The overlay element includes a fiber-reinforced thermoset material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion. In one specific embodiment, the first and second coefficients of thermal expansion are substantially equal. In one embodiment, the overlay element includes a pultruded fiber-reinforced thermoset material. In yet another aspect, the overlay element is adhesively coupled to said outer surface. Adhesive coupling may, for example, include a hot-melt adhesive, a two-part glue, or double-sided adhesive tape.

Abstract: A sectional overhead door includes a window and associated grille and clip for mounting on the panel of the door. The window is mounted by a frame on both the front face and back face of the sectional door panel. The window grille is mounted to the front of the door panel and couples to the frame members on the front face of the panel. The underside of the grille is juxtaposed to the window or glazing element in the frame. The rear face of the grille includes a groove and the lateral sides of each grille member include a pair of rails or channels. A uniquely designed clip fits within the groove and channels. A forwardly projecting tang extends from the central body portion of the clip and is adapted to project into a hole or opening in the window frame when the clip slides relative to the grille member. Another aspect of this invention is that selected terminal ends of the grille members are similarly configured to include tabs that seat within notches in the window frame.
