Abstract
A closure panel assembly including a frame member and a panel member adapted to be tilted relative to the frame member and also laterally offset relative thereto by movement parallel to itself is equipped with a panel latching mechanism which includes a locking member engaging between the panel member and the frame member to lock the lower end of the panel member relative to the frame member when the panel member is to be moved to its tilted position while enabling release of the lower end of the panel member when the panel member is to be parallel laterally offset.
