Abstract: A system and process for forming a curved glass laminate article is provided. The process and system utilizes co-sagging of a stack of glass sheets of different thicknesses and different glass materials. During co-sagging the thicker glass layer is placed on top of the thinner glass layer. In this process, shape mismatch is avoided by selecting/controlling the glass materials of the sheets of glass such that the viscosity of the lower, thinner sheet during co-sagging is greater than the viscosity of the thicker glass sheet.

The fixed window is arranged in a first portion of the window region, and the division bar is arranged along a first region of the interior surface. The movable window is arranged in a second portion of the window region and is configured to close against the division bar. The division bar is not directly visible from outside of the vehicle door when viewed at an elevation of the fixed window. To illustrate, the movable window can be configured to move vertically within the first portion of the window region and the fixed window arranged at the top of the window region and the division bar is arranged substantially horizontally along the interior surface.
