A generally rectangular reglazable vehicle window comprising a window panel of two spaced frames with an edge seal around the periphery of the panel; an egress frame in which the window panel is mounted; and a backframe defining the opening in a vehicle wall, the egress frame being hinged along an upper side on the upper side of the backframe to swing outwardly when released by an egress handle. The window panel is mounted in the egress frame between a fixed abutment rim blocking inward movement of the panel, and a removable abutment rim that is formed integrally with a retainer ring extending around the egress frame between the panel and the backframe. The ring is wedge-shaped in cross-sections for ease of insertion and removal. Screws threaded into the retainer ring from the periphery of the egress frame normally hold the ring and the removable rim in place, the heads of the screws being recessed into the edge of the egress frame so as to be covered when the frame is in the closed position and accessible for service and repair when the frame is in the open position. A removable seal conceals the screws in the open position. The hinge for the egress frame constitutes two interfitting channels that suspend the egress frame from the top of the backframe and remain engaged as the egress frame swings open to at least a horizontal position, then disengaging to release the egress frame. A lower hinge element covers the top of the retainer rim. In a modified embodiment, a sacrificial panel covers the inner side of the window panel and is overlapped by an offset edge portion of the fixed rim.
