A rail-slider assembly for a window lifter of a motor vehicle. The rail-slider assembly has a rail slider with a slider interface in relation to a guide rail and a driver-device interface for an in particular functionalized and/or electrically switchable or controllable window panel and also with at least one mechanical fastening interface. The rail-slider assembly further has an interface adapter, which is or can be mounted on the mechanical fastening interface of the rail slider, or on a window-panel adapter, and has retaining elements for the in particular form-fitting fastening of a cable guide or of an electric cable and/or of an electric power connector.

A sliding door module includes a resin base coupled to an inner panel of a sliding door, a window glass lifting/lowering device that lifts and lowers a window glass, and a door movement device that moves the sliding door. The window glass lifting/lowering device and the door movement device are coupled to the base.

A window regulator comprises: a carrier plate having a front surface and a rear surface, the carrier plate configured to be attached to a guide rail with the rear surface facing the guide rail; a first lifter attachment portion spaced from a second lifter attachment portion, the first lifter attachment portion and the second lifter attachment portion integral with the carrier plate and each having a lifter aperture configured to receive a window lifter; a flange extending at an angle along a length of an edge of the front surface of the carrier plate; and a window protection system proximate to the first lifter attachment portion and the second lifter attachment portion. At least a part of the window protection system is configured to extend beyond a distal edge of the flange in a front-facing direction.

A window regulator comprises a carrier plate, a drive unit, a raising cable, a lowering cable, and a guide rail. The carrier plate is attached to a lower part on a first edge part side of the windowglass. The drive unit is capable of raising and lowering the windowglass via the carrier plate. The drive unit and the carrier plate are coupled by the raising cable and the lowering cable. The guide rail mates with the carrier plate so as to guide the carrier plate and constrain the operation of the windowglass to directions that intersect movement directions of the carrier plate.

A window assembly may include a pane movable between open and closed positions, a cam having a cam surface, and a cam follower coupled to the movable pane for movement relative to the cam surface and engageable with the cam surface when the movable pane is near or in the closed position. The cam surface may be inclined toward a seal to direct the movable pane into the seal when the movable pane moves into the closed position. The cam surface may include a linear portion that extends along at least a majority of the path of travel of the movable pane. The cam follower may remain engaged with the cam surface throughout a desired portion of the path of travel of the movable pane.

Guide rails with which a window regulator is provided are respectively fixed to a module plate. The guide rails are fixed, together with the module plate, to an edge of an opening portion provided at inward frames from an outward side in a vehicle width direction. Attachment portions which are capable of afterward attaching outward frames to the inward frames are provided, and attachment portions which are capable of afterward attaching a door outer panel to a door frame comprising the inward frames and the outward frames are provided.

A door opening and closing device includes: a resin-made base attached to an inner panel of a door; and a transfer mechanism provided on an interior side of the base, and transferring power to a locking device via a power transfer cable, wherein the base includes first and second parts in which the transfer mechanism and the cable are disposed respectively, and a fixing portion fixing an outer casing end portion of the cable, and wherein the first and second parts are configured to locate at different levels so that the second part is positioned closer to an inner side than the first part in a width direction, a step portion is provided between the first and second parts, and the fixing portion is provided in the step portion.

A cable guide for use with a window regulator assembly includes a body, an attachment configured to be inserted through an aperture in a guide rail and retain a portion of the guide rail in a rail gap, a spring tab configured to press against an edge of the guide rail, and a cable retention arm configured to receive a tensioned drive cable of the window regulator. The cable guide may be steadily assembled to the guide rail by utilizing the pushing force from the tensioned drive cable. The aperture is located along the guide rail such that the aperture is out of the slide path of the window carrier of the window regulator assembly.

A power window actuator includes a carrier element having an opening, a cable drum includes a portion is inserted into the opening of the carrier element in such a manner that the portion at least partially extends through the opening, and a cable exit housing disposed on a first side of the carrier element includes a bearing element supporting the cable drum on the first side of the carrier element so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis. At least one bearing element projects radially with respect to the rotation axis from the portion, the bearing element engaging a counter bearing on a periphery of the carrier element surrounding the opening of the carrier element.

A lifter plate assembly for a motor vehicle window and method of assembly thereof is provided. The lifter plate assembly includes a main body having a rail guide hook for sliding receipt of window regulator rails. A pair of opposed spring fingers are disposed in the rail guide hook for biased engagement with the window regulator rails. A resilient cushion supports the spring fingers against yielding to maintain the spring fingers in biased engagement with the widow regulator rails. A window bracket is configured for fixed attachment to a window and has a tongue configured for sliding and snapping receipt in a receptacle of a window retainer plate of the main body. The receptacle has ribs or grooves and the tongue has the other of grooves or ribs, wherein the ribs and grooves interdigitate with one another to prevent relative fore/aft movement between the window bracket the window retainer plate.
