A window lift assembly for adjusting a window pane, including a carrier, a flexible traction means for transferring an adjusting force for adjusting the window pane and a deflecting piece, which is non-rotatably arranged on the carrier and has a guide channel for deflecting the traction means in a guide plane. To retain the traction means in the guide channel, at least one securing element on the carrier and at least one securing section are provided, the at least one securing element and the at least one securing section may be formed so that if sections of the traction means are displaced out of the guide channel toward the securing element and the traction means thus contacts the securing element, the securing section continues to block the traction means against a displacement transverse to the guide plane out of the guide channel.

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 clip release system for a vehicle door includes: a clip including a stem and a clamping portion configured to hold a window; a lock including at least one guide extending from the first axial surface to the second axial surface, the lock being disposed in the stem of the clip; a bolt that rotates between a first position and a second position, is inserted through the hole of the lock in an insertion direction, and biased to move out of the lock in a direction opposite the insertion direction, the bolt including a head at a first end of the bolt, a shaft extending to a second end of the bolt, and at least one locking tab disposed on a surface of the shaft and configured to pass through the at least one guide.

A window regulator module for a motor vehicle includes a pair of window regulator rails operably coupled to one another via at least one cable wrapped about pulleys on the window regulator rails. Each window regulator rail has a body extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The body has a main body portion and a guide edge along which a lifter travels upwardly and downwardly. The main body portion is plastic and the guide edge is metal. The metal guide edge provides the window regulator module with increased stiffness and increased cross-vehicle stability to a window carried by the lifters.

A first side wall portion forming a body portion of a clamping member includes first convex members projecting toward a second side wall portion and being softer than the first side wall portion. The first convex members are disposed at positions of the first side wall portion adjacent to respective ends of the first side wall portion in an X axial direction (third direction).

Provided is an opening/closing body opening/closing device capable of effectively preventing water such as rainwater flowing down from an opening/closing body carried by a carrier plate from adhering to a guide rail. The opening/closing body opening/closing device includes a carrier plate that carries an opening/closing body, and a guide rail that guides movement of the carrier plate in a lifting and lowering direction of the opening/closing body. The carrier plate includes, at an upper end portion, a water holding section that holds water reaching the upper end portion of the carrier plate from above. The water holding section includes a water receiving section that faces upward and receives the reaching water, and an outflow preventing section provided with a preventing surface that faces the water receiving section side and prevents the water from flowing out to the guide rail.

A door module of a vehicle door includes a carrier plate having a cable window regulator with at least one guide rail, and a door structure which is or can be joined to the carrier plate. A cable deflection region of the guide rail extends beyond an outer edge of the carrier plate. The cable deflection region is provided with a joining contour which, when joined, is form-lockingly inserted in a receiving contour of the door structure. The joining contour engages behind the receiving contour in such a way that the cable deflection region is stabilizingly held in a direction perpendicular to the cable deflection region. A vehicle door having the door module is also provided.

A window regulator includes a guide rail provided along an ascending/descending direction of a window glass of a vehicle, a carrier plate that slides on the guide rail and travels together with the window glass, cables that pull the carrier plate, a drum on which the cables are partially wound, a motor rotationally driving the drum, and a drum housing provided at a lower end of the guide rail and having a housing space for housing the drum, wherein the drum housing has a wall section provided on an outer side of the drum that is housed in the housing space, and a contact surface of the drum housing coming into contact with the carrier plate is provided at a lower position than an upper end of the wall section in a vertical direction that the window glass travels when the window glass is fully opened.

A window regulator for raising and lowering a window of a vehicle, including: a guide rail; a cursor slidably mounted to the guide rail; a flange portion mounted to a bottom end of the guide rail, wherein the flange portion has a rail mounting portion and an arm portion extending from the rail mounting portion and a mounting portion extending from the arm portion; and a motor operably coupled to the cursor such that operation of the motor will cause the cursor to slide along the guide rail, the motor being mounted to the mounting portion, wherein the motor when mounted to the mounting portion is located adjacent to a side of the guide rail located between the bottom end of the guide rail and a top end of the guide rail.

A first side wall portion forming a body portion of a clamping member includes first convex members projecting toward a second side wall portion and being softer than the first side wall portion. The first convex members are disposed at positions of the first side wall portion adjacent to respective ends of the first side wall portion in an X axial direction (third direction).
