Visteon Offers Glimpse of Concept for Next-Generation Light Truck
Rear Window LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A concept
gliding rear window that transforms light truck styling and
functionality is featured in the Visteon Corporation exhibit (Booth
No. 33705) at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)
show in Las Vegas Nov. 4-7, 2003. (Logo:

Visteon GlideMaster(TM) gliding rear window is slated for market
testing in the coming months. This new design allows vehicle owners
the convenience, comfort and versatility of a rear-sliding window
without the add-on appearance of current designs. The GlideMaster
design team developed a fully frameless window package with flush
glass that enhances the vehicle maker's carefully styled rear cab
profile and gives the buyer new options for customization. "Visteon
has created a rear gliding window that provides an ideal blend of
the best original equipment-level construction features and
innovative aftermarket functionality, but without the styling and
performance compromises found in other products," said Roy Drake,
director of Carlite Glass for Visteon Aftermarket. "Response to
this exciting new concept has been positive, and we anticipate
strong enthusiasm among truck accessory distributors and retailers
attending SEMA." A key feature of GlideMaster is customization
offered through a wide variety of etched graphics. The sliding
portion of the window is easily removed for etching, making the
treatment fast and affordable. In addition, each window features
tinted glass for enhanced privacy, security and solar control and
incorporates an innovative new latching design that discourages
break-ins. GlideMaster's world-class construction features ensure
smoother opening and closing and optimal sealing performance,
according to Drake. The gliding center window closes on a
weather-tight perimeter seal and the unit's premium track end-cap
design prevents moisture from dripping into the cab when the window
is wet and then opened. Visteon Corporation is a leading
full-service supplier that delivers consumer-driven technology
solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and through
multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket. Visteon
has about 75,000 employees and a global delivery system of more
than 180 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities
