A sliding golf cart windshield assembly includes a first elongated rail, a second elongated rail spaced apart from the first elongated rail, and an upper windshield pane having a first longitudinal edge and an opposing second longitudinal edge. The upper windshield pane is slidably positioned between the first and second elongated rails. The assembly also includes a lower drive pulley, an upper drive pulley, and a drive belt stretched between the lower drive pulley and the upper drive pulley. In addition, the assembly includes a drive panel slidingly engaged with the second rail and secured to the upper window pane and the drive belt, and a motor coupled to the lower drive pulley and configured to rotate the lower drive pulley to raise and lower the upper windshield pane.

A window regulator includes a guide rail, a carrier plate, and a raising/lowering means to raise/lower the carrier plate along the guide rail. The carrier plate includes a front surface sliding member configured to slide on a front surface of a flange portion of the guide rail and a back surface sliding member configured to slide on a back surface of the flange portion. The back surface sliding member includes a contact portion coming into contact with the back surface and a base portion that presses the contact portion against the back surface by a restoring force of elastic deformation. The contact portion extends toward the back surface and is elastically deformed and bent on the end side to allow the flange portion to enter from a lateral side in an extending direction thereof when assembling the carrier plate to the guide rail.

A hinge includes: a first and second gear; a cover configured to attach the gears; a first outside surface associated with the first panel; a second outside surface associated with the second panel; wherein when the first and second outside surfaces are in a generally co-planer orientation, a tooth from one of the first and second gears fits next to a tooth from the other of the first and second gears to form a water shedding joint. A method of forming a hinge includes: extruding a gear together with a panel having a first outside surface; a second panel a second outside surface; wherein when the first and second outside surfaces are in a generally co-planer orientation, a tooth from one of the first and second gears fits next to a tooth from the other of the first and second gears to form a water shedding joint.

Sash carriers mounted to the sides of a sash support the sash in a window frame for sliding movement between sliding closed and sliding open positions. Balance springs on the sash carriers counterbalance the weight of the sash during the sliding movement. The sash can be mounted to the sash carriers for tilting movement between tilt closed and tilt open positions. Brakes on the sash carriers are actuated by the sash when the sash is moved to the tilt open position, and inhibit sliding movement of the sash carriers and sash when the sash is in the tilt open position.

A window regulator includes a carrier plate, a wire to pull the carrier plate, a slide member including a main body attached to an end of the wire and a flange at a base end of the main body, and a spring to apply a tensile force to the wire. The carrier plate includes a housing portion including a bottom surface, the housing portion accommodating the spring. A grease storage portion for storing grease is formed between the flange and the bottom surface. A protruding portion is formed on one surface out of the bottom surface and the end face so as to protrude from the one surface and comes into contact with the other surface out of the bottom surface and the end face to restrict an advancing position of the slide member. The protruding portion is deformed by the contact such that a protruding length thereof is reduced.

A sealing system for a storage enclosure is disclosed. The sealing system includes a sealing member having a first sealing portion, and a second sealing portion that extends from the first sealing portion. The second sealing portion including a first leg and a second leg. The first leg extends from the first sealing portion at a first angle, and the second leg extends from the first sealing portion at a second angle. The second angle is larger than the first angle.

A window regulator includes a guide rail, a carrier plate, and a raising/lowering means to raise/lower the carrier plate along the guide rail. The carrier plate includes a front surface sliding member configured to slide on a front surface of a flange portion of the guide rail and a back surface sliding member configured to slide on a back surface of the flange portion. The back surface sliding member includes a contact portion coming into contact with the back surface and a base portion that presses the contact portion against the back surface by a restoring force of elastic deformation. The contact portion extends toward the back surface and is elastically deformed and bent on the end side to allow the flange portion to enter from a lateral side in an extending direction thereof when assembling the carrier plate to the guide rail.

A window vent stop is disclosed having a housing with a peripheral flange defining an opening, and a body depending from the peripheral flange. A stop block is mounted within the body of the housing for movement between an open position wherein a portion of the stop block protrudes above the peripheral flange and a closed position. A spring leg is located on a bottom end of the housing and flexes toward the housing when under compression, providing compressive force along a line parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing when the window vent stop is inserted into an opening in a window sash. By applying force to further compress the spring leg, the vent stop can be readily removed from the window sash without damage.

A sliding golf cart windshield assembly includes a first elongated rail having a top end and a bottom end, and a second elongated rail spaced apart from the first elongated rail and having a top end and a bottom end. An upper windshield pane has a first longitudinal edge and an opposing second longitudinal edge, where the upper windshield pane is positioned between the first and second elongated rails. In addition, the assembly includes a first upper plate secured to the first longitudinal edge of the upper windshield pane and being slidable within the first elongated rail, a first lower hub coupled to the bottom end of the first elongated rail, and a first belt having a first end first end fixed to the top end of the first elongated rail and passes around the first lower hub to the second end that is fixed to the first upper plate.

An adjustable window regulator lift plate assembly for a vehicle window includes a base and a window holder. The window holder is secured to the base via a part-in-assembly fastener that extends through an aperture in the base and into an aperture formed in an inner leg of the window holder. The window holder may receive and secure a window, and the fastener may be inserted through the window holder and into a fastener plate disposed on an outer leg of the window holder. The window holder includes a curved inner surface on the inner leg, and the base includes a curved outer surface that contacts the inner leg. The window holder may be shifted and pivoted relative to the base. The fastener may be tightened to secure the window holder relative to the base in a desired pivoted position.
