Abstract: A vehicle closure system includes a first track portion rigidly connected with respect to a vehicle body and a second track portion rigidly connected with respect to a closure panel. The closure panel is selectively movable between open and closed positions. The first and second track portions align when the closure panel is in the closed position. The track portions facilitate movement of a window between a closed position and a stowed position, while allowing independent movement of the closure panel with respect to the window.

Abstract: A step assembly for an automotive wheel includes a first member at least partially defining an annular track, a second member connected with respect to the track for movement along the track, and a third member defining a stepping surface. The third member is pivotably connected with respect to the second member for selective movement between a stowed position in which the third member acts as a center wheel cap, and a second position in which the third member presents a horizontal step surface. The third member is movable along the track with the second member to enable a vehicle user to reposition the step surface after wheel rotation.
