The engagement member may be configured to be disposed between the window pane and the first jaw. The adjustment mechanism may include an adjustment member that may be configured to rotate about a first rotational axis. The adjustment mechanism may also include a translatable member that may be coupled to the engagement member and configured to translate about the first rotational axis such that rotation of the adjustment member moves the engagement member along the ramped surface of the first jaw.

A pulley includes a main winding portion including an annular main winding groove, where a wire is windable, formed between a first flange and a second flange; and an auxiliary winding portion including an auxiliary winding groove, where the wire is windable, formed between the second flange and a third flange. The auxiliary winding groove includes a closest portion closest to the main winding groove in the radial direction thereof, and a curved portion curved toward the main winding groove in a portion adjacent to the closest portion so that the curved portion joins the main winding groove at the closest portion. The third flange includes an auxiliary guide portion extending in the radial direction of the auxiliary winding groove so that the groove depth of the curved portion becomes larger than that of the closest portion. This structure can provide a pulley allowing easy winding of a wire.

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, including: a first guide rail; a first cursor slidably mounted to the first guide rail; a second guide rail spaced from the first guide rail; a second cursor slidably mounted to the second guide rail; a housing that is not mounted to a lower end of the first guide rail or the second guide rail; a motor mounted to the housing and operably coupled to the first cursor and the second cursor such that operation of the motor will cause the first cursor to slide along the first guide rail and second cursor to slide along the second guide rail; a cable drum rotationally mounted to the housing, the cable drum being operably coupled to the motor and a first cable secured to the cable drum at one end and the first cursor at another end; a second cable secured to the cable drum at one end and the second cursor at another end; a third cable secured to the first cursor at one end and the second cursor at another end; a first cable sheath surrounding the first cable that extends from a first feature of the first guide rail to the housing; a cable tensioner associated with the first cable sheath; a second cable sheath surrounding the second cable that extends from the housing to a second feature of the second guide rail; and a third cable sheath surrounding the third cable that extends from the a second feature of the first guide rail to a first feature of the second guide rail, wherein the window regulator is configured for raising and lowering a window of a frameless door assembly of a vehicle.

A window lift system including a first guide rail including a first stop, a second guide rail which has a second stop in an upper end region, a first slider guided on the first guide rail, second slider guided on the second guide rail, cable drum, and a drive cable driven by means of the cable drum and coupled to the sliders and extending through a Bowden cable sheath between the upper end region of the second guide rail and a lower end region of the first guide rail. The sliders are movable by the drive cable along the guide rails into a stop position in which the second slider lies against the second stop and the first slider is spaced apart from the first stop by a predefined distance, ranging between 0.4 percent and 1.2 percent of the length of the Bowden cable sheath.

A cable guide assembly adapted for use with a guide rail for a motor vehicle, for redirecting a cable of a window regulator, includes a cable guide formed with an arc-shaped body having a cable guide groove on an outer perimeter of the arc-shaped body and a cable guide receiving site formed in the guide rail adapted to receive and mount the cable guide. The cable guide includes a cable holding tab extending outward from the arc-shaped body along a longitudinal axis and a pair of side hooks extending from an end portion of the arc-shaped body along a transverse axis. In an intermediate-installed state of the cable, the cable is set under the cable holding tab, and in a fully-installed state of the cable, the side hooks are configured to prevent the cable from coming off from the cable guide.

A motor vehicle door having a frame defining a window opening, and a window lift system having a first guide rail, a first sliding piece guided on the first guide rail, a second guide rail, a second sliding piece guided on the second guide rail, a cable drum and a drive cable driven by the cable drum and coupled to the sliding pieces, the drive cable guided in a Bowden cable sheath between an upper end region of the second guide rail and a connection region located between an upper end region of the first guide rail and a lower end region of the first guide rail. The Bowden cable sheath fastened in the upper end region of the second guide rail and in the connection region of the first guide rail.

A vehicle door assembly includes a door module and a door panel. The door module has a back plate with a periphery bearing attachment orifices defining a base plane. At least one guide rail extends in a rail direction in a rail plane offset from the base plane and has a connected edge and a free edge. The connected edge is attached to the back plate, and the free edge is shaped for slidably attaching a carrier plate for a window. The guide rail vertically protrudes beyond the periphery of the back platen. A void in the rail plane intersects a trajectory of the connected edge. The void provides access through the rail plane to the periphery of the back plate, wherein an attachment orifice is disposed in the void. The door panel has a central hole and attachment openings aligned with the attachment orifices of the door module.

A window regulator for a motor vehicle includes a drive unit assembly with a module plate. The drive unit for the window regulator includes a cable drum housing with a cable drum and a motor assembly. The cable drum housing includes a stepped annular ring extended from the cable drum housing and a snap-fit post protruded from each of the stepped annular ring for engaging with the module plate. The cable drum housing is positioned on a receiving site of the module plate, and the stepped annular ring and the snap-fit post is coupled with a locating site on the receiving site. Each locating site includes a circular bead for engaging with the stepped annular ring of the cable drum housing.
