A driver for a vehicle window regulator, having a pane holder for fastening to a window pane, and a rail slider with a guide region and a sliding insert lying therein. The pane holder has an approximately cylindrical connecting section which is inserted along an axial direction into a holder section of the rail slider and is surrounded by said holder section at least in sections along a circumferential direction, and the connecting section has a receptacle and the holder section has a passage opening, which receptacle and passage opening are arranged aligned with each other along a radial direction, and a joining pin is inserted into the passage opening and the receptacle.

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 retaining element for a side window of a vehicle, includes at least one contact section for securing to a first surface of the side window, wherein the contact section has a contact surface that is provided for being connected to the first surface via an adhesive, a securing section connected to the contact section and for securing to the vehicle, and a filling opening for injecting the adhesive into the intermediate space between the contact section and the first surface of the side window, wherein the contact surface has a plurality of channels that are directed toward the filling opening and are distributed over the contact surface in a fan-like manner.

A carrier plate is attached to a guide rail so as to move on the guide rail along the extending direction. An erected portion includes a first surface and a second surface which extend in an extending direction. A slit is formed by a first edge portion which is disposed on a side of the first surface of the erected portion and a second edge portion which is disposed on a side of the second surface of the erected portion. A cutout portion which includes an opening facing the erected portion is provided in at least one of the first edge portion and the second edge portion. The cutout portion includes a space portion which allows grease to be stored therein. The grease stored in the cutout portion is applied to the erected portion which slides in the slit when the carrier plate moves on the guide rail.

To provide a window regulator and a method of assembling the same, capable of easily applying grease to a main wall 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, wherein the guide rail has a main wall portion extending in a front-rear direction, and the slider has a main body portion facing the main wall portion of the guide rail abuttably from a vehicle width direction, and a grease application portion configured to apply grease along the operation direction on the main wall portion of the guide rail.

A rail slide may include a base member having guiding faces for the guide rail of the cable-type window lifter and a curved retention member which is connected via a base to the base member in a resilient manner and which has a locking hook which is arranged at the upper end. The curved retention member has two lateral webs which are connected to the base and a transverse connection element which carries the locking hook.

A carrier for a vehicle window lifter configured to be connected to a window pane and adjusted by the vehicle window lifter. The carrier including a guide for a cable of the vehicle window lifter. The guide forms a guide surface and the cable lies along the guide surface when the vehicle window lifter is properly mounted. The guide surface defines at least one cutout configured to receive discharged particles from the guide surface of the carrier.

A holder-equipped window glass includes a window glass having a holder and formed in a curved shape having a first radius of curvature in section in a sliding movement direction in a state where the window glass is mounted on a vehicle. The holder includes a connecting portion and a holder body. The connecting portion extends in a direction away from a lower edge of the holder body, and the connecting portion at least partly includes a circular arcuate portion having a second radius of curvature in section in the sliding movement direction.

A door glass assembly is configured to reduce an impact noise generated when a door glass is moved upward/downward and may include a carrier plate coupled to a glass holder to which a door glass of a vehicle is secured. The carrier plate is installed inside a door of the vehicle so as to be movable upward/downward. A module plate, on which the carrier plate is installed so as to be movable upward/downward, is installed inside the door of the vehicle. A driving motor is provided to move the carrier plate upward/downward. The module plate and the carrier plate are provided with an impact noise preventing means for gradually decelerating and stopping the carrier plate when the door glass is being maximally moved upward or downward.

A window lifter assembly includes a window pane which includes a connecting portion to which an adapter is molded, the adapter thereby being an integral part of the window pane, the adapter forming a driver element for moving the window pane along an adjustment direction and forming a supporting structure which extends in the adjustment direction and in a transverse direction and running generally perpendicular to the adjustment direction and parallel to a pane plane defined by the window pane, wherein an extension of the supporting structure along the transverse direction is at least twice as large as an extension of the driver element along the transverse direction.
