Vehicle (101, Fig.1a) comprising a window assembly with a frame (108) and a window pane (107) movable relative to the frame between an open position and a closed position. The window pane comprises a first portion (201’ Figs.5a-5e) and a second portion (501,502,503,504,505) defining an edge of the window pane. The thickness of the second portion is less than the thickness of the first portion. The frame and window pane are arranged such that in the closed position the frame overlies a surface of the second portion, flush with a surface of the first portion (see fig.4d). The first portion may be glass and second portion may be plastics material. The second portion may comprise a tongue portion 505 which may overlie and be attached to an inwardly facing surface of the first portion (fig.5d). The edge may be an upper edge of the window (fig.2a). The second portion thickness may decrease progressively towards the edge, where the second portion average thickness may be between 40% & 80% of a first portion average thickness. The second portion may extend between 10-20mm from the edge. Window may form part of a vehicle flush window assembly.
