A spacer that attaches to a window sash in order to create an improved window construction. The window construction has a window frame with side tracks. A window sash is set within the side tracks of the window frame. Gap spaces exist between the window sash and the side tracks. To prevent cocking, spacers are provided. The spacers attached to the sides of the window sash inside the tracks where the spacer is not visible. Each spacer has a base, a spring arm that extends from the base, and a contact head that is supported by the spring arm. The base is mounted to the window sash within a gap space. The spring arm extends into the gap space and biases the contact head toward the side track. The contact head also presents a physical barrier to lateral movement. This inhibits the sash from cocking within the window frame.

A component for a window regulator system of a vehicle closure panel including: a rail having a rail aperture extending between a first side of the rail and a second side opposite the first side, the rail aperture having a retaining surface associated with the rail aperture; a pulley for mounting adjacent to the first side, the pulley having a pulley aperture with a pulley surface opposite the first side; a pulley rivet having a rivet body including a retaining lip for engaging with the pulley surface and a retainer portion for engaging with the retaining surface, the rivet body configured for receipt in both the pulley aperture and the rail aperture when installed, the rivet body having a hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the rail to a panel via the pulley rivet; wherein, when installed, the rivet body is positioned within the pulley aperture and within the rail aperture, such that engagement between the retaining lip and the pulley surface inhibits separation of the pulley from the rail while engagement of the retainer portion with the retaining surface inhibits separation of the pulley rivet from the rail aperture.

A window regulator assembly in a vehicle includes a glass lift plate assembly for moving a window glass up and down along the guide rail. The glass lift plate assembly includes a slider base, a glass holder configured to receive and hold the window glass, and an attachment bracket placed on the glass holder to securely hold the window glass. The glass holder includes an inboard part and an outboard part, and is connected to the slider base by an adjustment member, which is configured to adjust a top edge of the window glass. Further, the window glass is placed between the inboard part and the outboard part of the glass holder and also fixedly held by an attachment fastener. The inboard part of the glass holder slidably moves relative to the outboard part of the glass holder by the rotational movement of the adjustment member.

A retaining element for a side window of a vehicle, includes a first securing section and a first contact section connected thereto for securing to a first surface of the side window, a second securing section and a second contact section connected thereto for securing to a second surface of the side window, wherein the first and second securing sections are connected to one another opposite the contact sections via a hinge section such that the first securing section together with the first contact section and the second securing section together with the second contact section is pivotable relative to one another, whereby the retaining element is openable and closable. In the closed state, the securing sections are in surface contact with one another and, together, are suitable for securing to the vehicle and the contact sections are suitable for securing to two opposing surfaces of the side window.

A guide rail fitting structure includes a guide rail, a fitting body, and an insert inserted into the fitting body. The guide rail is fitted into the fitting body. The fitting body includes a fitting section fitted onto an end of the guide rail, and an insertion hole into which the insert is inserted from outside the fitting body. The fitting section is fitted onto the guide rail such that the insert is at least partially covered with the guide rail, the insert gets into a detachment inhibitive state, and the insert in the detachment inhibitive state is visible through an opening on an outer surface of the fitting body. This configuration allows easy assembly.

A door assembly for a motor vehicle comprised of an outer door panel and an inner door panel interconnected to define a door panel structure having an internal door cavity. A collapsible carrier module is configured to be oriented in a collapsed arrangement to facilitate installation into the door cavity through an opening in the inner door panel. The collapsible carrier module can be moved from its collapsed arrangement into an expanded arrangement upon installation within the door cavity to facilitate subsequent mounting to the door panel structure. The collapsible carrier module includes a two-piece carrier plate formed to integrally include a pair of laterally-spaced glass run channels and a pair of laterally-spaced slider rails.

A guide rail for a window lifter for raising and lowering a window pane or door system for a vehicle door having a carrier and at least two guide rails disposed on the carrier. The guide rails include a guide profile that can be twisted or bent for guiding an adjusting part of the window lifter coupled to the window pane along an adjusting direction predetermined by the guide rails and the guide profile includes a base and two legs protruding at obtuse draft angles from the ends of the base, such that the size of the draft angles is proportional to the bending or twisting of the guide rails prescribed by the kinematics of the retraction of the window pane over the adjusting travel of the window pane.

A window regulator for a vehicle includes a guide rail, and a slider base ascendably and descendably supported by the guide rail, to which a window glass is fixed, and ascends and descends the slider base with respect to the guide rail. The guide rail includes a vehicle width-direction wall extending along a vehicle width direction, and the slider base includes a restricting wall which restricts movement of the slider base along a vehicle longitudinal direction, and an anti-rattle portion positioned toward a side of the vehicle width-direction wall with respect to the restricting wall in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the anti-rattle portion restricting movement of the slider base in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

A vehicular window regulator that decreases an inclination of a glass centering on a thickness direction of the glass and an inclination restraining mechanism are provided. The window regulator includes a member secured to a glass, traction member guides. At least one of the traction member guides are each disposed above and below the member, across the member. The inclination restraining mechanism is wound across the respective traction member guides, and includes a traction member having one end portion installed at the member from above, and further having another end portion installed at the member from below. An installation position to the member, of the one end portion of the traction member and an installation position to the member, of the other end portion of the traction member are offset in a horizontal direction, viewing from a thickness direction of the glass.

A holder which can be used in common for window plates different in thickness and in which an adhesive is less likely to be localized and overflow when a vehicle window plate is fitted in place.

A holder 103 is to be attached to a vehicle window plate 102 via an adhesive 305, and the holder 103 is characterized by comprising a bottom 201, a first side 202 and a second side 203 facing the first side 202, to form a concave in its cross-sectional view, and having an elastically deformable flexible portion 204 extending from an end of the first side 202 in parallel to the first side 202, wherein the first side 202 has a first inner surface 301 and a first outer surface 302, the flexible portion 204 has a second inner surface 306 and a second outer surface 307, the first inner surface 301 an the second inner surface 306 are present in the same plane, and the flexible portion 204 has a first convex part 308 extending from the second inner surface 306 toward the second side.
