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.

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.

A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter includes at least one guide rail for guiding a driver for a window glass or pane. A joint piece has two joint pins integrally formed axially opposite one another thereon along an axis of rotation, a fastening bolt, and a connection portion connected to the guide rail. The connection portion has a connection leg, with a through-opening for the fastening bolt, between two lateral legs having mutually aligned joint grooves for receiving the joint pins of the joint piece, which pivots between the lateral legs and is pivotably mounted in the connection portion. A vehicle window lifter for adjusting a window glass of a motor vehicle is also provided.

A cursor assembly for a window regulator of a vehicle door, including: a main body portion; a clamping member secured to the main body portion; a cable securement feature that is moveably secured to the main body portion by an adjustment screw, wherein rotation of the adjustment screw about an axis will cause the cable securement feature to move along the axis with respect to the main body portion; and a gear train operably coupled to the adjustment screw.

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 vehicle may include a vehicle body, a door, a window frame, a window panel, a lower support and a stopper. The window panel may be provided in the window frame, configured to be manually raised and lowered, and supported to be movable between an upper limit position where the window panel closes an opening of the window frame and a lower limit position where the window panel opens the opening of the window frame. The lower support may include a groove. The groove may be configured to receive a lower edge of the window panel when the window panel is located at the lower limit position. The stopper may be disposed in the groove of the lower support and include an abutting surface configured to abut the lower edge of the window panel, wherein the abutting surface may be curved to protrude upward.

A vehicle door assembly includes an outer panel and an inner panel. The outer panel has an inboard surface and an outboard surface. A door handle receiving area is disposed in the outer door panel and is configured to receive a door handle. The inner panel has an inboard surface and an outboard surface. The inner panel is connected to the outer panel. A first stiffener member is disposed beneath the door handle receiving area. A second stiffener member is disposed above the door handle receiving area.

To provide a window regulator and a method of assembling the same, capable of easily applying grease to a wire facing surface of a guide rail, the window regulator includes: a guide rail extending in an operation direction of a window glass; a slider installed to the window glass and guided along the operation direction on the guide rail; and a wire configured to drive the slider along the operation direction with respect to the guide rail, wherein the guide rail has a wire facing surface facing the wire along the operation direction, and the slider has a grease application portion for applying grease along the operation direction on the wire facing surface.

A vehicle mechanism is provided. The vehicle mechanism may include a stationary member including a main portion provided with an offset surface region including a bearing-surface region having non-planar regions. The mechanism may also include a moveable member that may be configured to move with respect to the stationary member. The moveable member may include a mating-bearing-surface region that may be configured to engage the bearing-surface region of the stationary member. A coating may be provided on the main portion and the bearing-surface region. The coating on the main portion may have a first thickness and the coating on the bearing-surface region may have a second thickness. The second thickness may be least 20% greater than the first thickness.

To provide a window regulator and a method of assembling the same, capable of easily supplying grease to a slider shoe and a support portion of a guide rail, the window regulator includes: a guide rail extending in an operation direction of a window glass; and a slider installed to the window glass and guided along the operation direction on the guide rail. The slider has a slider shoe configured to support at least a part of the guide rail, and a grease injection hole configured to inject grease into an internal space of the slider shoe.
