What is claimed is: 1. An integrally molded window spacer bar connector for joining first and second, opposed spacer bar end passages comprising, in combination:a generally uniform cross section tube enclosure having a longitudinal axis, a generally uniform cross sectional area, generally opposite parallel, generally flat planar first and second spaced lateral side walls, joined by a generally planar top side wall and a spaced generally planar bottom side wall, said walls forming a generally enclosed, axial throughbore,a transverse separation rib on the outside of the top side wall located intermediate the opposite ends of the tube,a leading edge inclined ramp at the opposite ends of the tube located in a side wall,a pattern of raised projections on the exterior surface of walls of the tube, and on opposite sides of the separation rib; andan outside channel formed in the bottom side wall intermediate the spaced side walls and extending at least partially from the bottom side wall along the spaced lateral side walls, said channel generally aligned with the transverse separation rib.
