When seamless integration and reduced installation steps are desired, the TI-200 Series Torque Inserts offers an over moldable design.  These inserts also feature differential torque, which provides 100% of the specified torque in one direction and 60% of the specified torque in the opposite.  This makes it ideal for porthole windows that open vertically, where gravity is acting upon the positioned window panel.
