A window assembly that includes an outer end inner frame assemblies. The outer frame assembly has two horizontal frame members and two vertical frame members. The inner frame assembly includes two horizontal inner members that are slidably mounted to the horizontal frame members. The inner frame assembly also includes two vertical inner members that are mountable on the vertical frame members with fastener members. The outer frame assembly and the vertical and horizontal inner members sandwich or entrap a garage panel with an aperture and a transparent panel to define a window. The outer frame assembly includes a longitudinally and peripherally extending rib member with longitudinal cut-outs. The horizontal inner frame members include longitudinal slots that receive the rib member. Fasteners are used to mount the two vertical inner members to the two vertical frame members keeping the garage panel and the transparent panel sandwiched in place.

1. A window assembly for garage doors including panels having at least one rectangular aperture with four edges, comprising: A) an outer frame assembly including a rectangular common wall having first outer and inner surfaces, said outer frame assembly further including two spaced apart and parallel outer vertical frame members and two spaced apart and parallel outer horizontal frame members mounted to each other, said horizontal frame members including a longitudinal first rib member perpendicularly mounted on said inner surface, said first rib member further including first and second opposite sides having a cut-out on each of said opposite sides, and said vertical frame members including a longitudinal second rib member perpendicularly mounted to said inner surface; B) two horizontal inner frame members each having a longitudinally extending first end surface with two lateral edges and horizontal inner and outer slanted walls longitudinally extending from said lateral edges, said inner slanted wall being shorter than said outer slanted wall, and said inner and outer slanted walls ending at longitudinal second inner and outer surfaces that extend partially inwardly defining first and second flange members at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other and defining a longitudinally and centrally disposed slot so that said longitudinal first rib member is slidably mounted within said slot thereby defining first and second longitudinal cavities for receiving the edge of a rectangular aperture of a panel and a transparent panel between said first inner surface and said second inner and outer surfaces; C) two vertical inner frame members each having a longitudinally extending second end surface with two lateral edges and further including vertical inner and outer slanted walls longitudinally extending from said lateral edges, said inner slanted wall being shorter that said outer slanted wall, and said inner and outer slanted walls ending at longitudinal third inner and outer surfaces so that third and fourth longitudinal cavities are defined for receiving the edge of a rectangular aperture of a panel and a transparent panel between said first inner surface and said third inner and outer surfaces; and D) fastening means for rigidly mounting said two vertical inner members to said two vertical frame members, respectively, thereby keeping said transparent panel firmly in place. 2. The window assembly set forth in claim 1 further including sealing means applied in said first, second, third and fourth longitudinal cavities.
