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.

Provided is a cable routing structure in which a cable guide member includes a support portion including an edge portion on one side and an edge portion on another side, a first erected portion erected on a side of the edge portion on the one side, and a second erected portion erected on a side of the edge portion on the other side. The first erected portion includes an engaging portion engaging with a base member, the second erected portion includes a connecting portion connected to the base member, and a distance in which a linear portion that is intermediate between both ends of a cable is provided between the first erected portion and the second erected portion. The base member includes an engaged portion being engaged with the engaging portion of the first erected portion.

A cable includes a core with a plurality of first wires made of carbon steel and a plurality of strands surrounding the core. Each strand includes a plurality of second wires made of stainless steel. The cable has a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than 2 millimeters.

In a wire regulator, a slider has a metal portion and a resin portion. The resin portion covers part of a front surface and a back surface of the metal portion, and forms a rainwater guide portion having an eave, the rainwater guide portion reducing entrance of rainwater into a lifting wire end housing portion, a lowering wire end housing portion, and a groove portion. A slit is provided at the resin portion at at least one of a front surface or a back surface of the slider.

A vehicle door window glass support structure includes: a sash part protruding upward with respect to the door panel; and window glass that is elevated or lowered along the sash part, in which the sash part includes a glass position regulating means that determines the position of the window glass in both vehicle interior and exterior directions and an intersecting direction that intersects the vehicle interior and exterior directions at least at a position where the window glass is elevated most. This configuration makes it possible to improve the position accuracy of the window glass with respect to the sash part, enhancing the appearance quality and the support performance of the window glass.

A motor vehicle drive assembly which is equipped with a drive element and an abutment, and also with at least one spring between the drive element and the abutment. In addition, there is at least one drive element sensor which, depending on the application of force by the drive element counter to the force of the spring and an associated relative movement between the drive element and the abutment, transmits sensor signals to a control unites. According to the invention, the drive element sensor, depending on the application of force by the drive element, generates different force-dependent, sliding sensor signals which are evaluated by the control unites, for example to drive an actuating element.

A carrier module for a motor vehicle and door assembly therewith is provided. The carrier module includes a pair of carrier members, each extending lengthwise between opposite first and second ends. The carrier members are operably coupled to one another via at least one cable, wherein at least one of the carrier members is formed of plastic material and includes at least one of, a plurality of weight reduction through openings bounded by strength and rigidity enhancing walls, at least one non-planar side having weight reduction, strength and rigidity enhancing undulations, and a plurality of strength and rigidity enhancing ribs bounding weight reduction recessed pockets.

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.
