  • Patent number: 12392185
    Abstract: A glazed device for a vehicle door including a mobile panel configured to be movable relative to a fixed panel and a frame for guiding the mobile panel within the door. The device comprises at least one guide rail secured to the fixed panel and configured to receive the mobile panel in sliding engagement. A rail mount is fixed to the inner side of the fixed panel and extends substantially parallel to the guide rail. The rail mount includes a mounting interface for coupling the guide rail to the fixed panel. The configuration simplifies assembly, improves structural integration, and facilitates secure retention of the mobile panel during operation. The invention also relates to a vehicle door incorporating the glazed device.
