Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: a body; a first door pivotably moveable relative to the body in a first pivot direction between an open position and a closed position, and including a first window panel moveable along a first path between an extended position and a retracted position; a second door pivotably moveable relative to the body in a second pivot direction between an open position and a closed position, and including a second window panel moveable along a second path between an extended position and a refracted position; wherein the second pivot direction is opposite the first pivot direction; wherein the first window panel travels along the first path away from and out of sealing engagement with the second window panel and then vertically downward when moving from the extended position into the retracted position to permit independent pivotable movement of the first door relative to the second door, and the first window panel travels along the first path vertically upward and then toward and into sealing engagement with the second window panel when moving from the retracted position into the extended position; and wherein the second window panel travels along the second path away from and out of sealing engagement with the first window panel and then vertically downward when moving from the extended position into the retracted position to permit independent pivotable movement of the second door relative to the first door, and the second window panel travels along the second path vertically upward and then toward and into sealing engagement with the first window panel when moving from the retracted position into the extended position.
