A guide rail for a window lifter for raising and lowering a window pane or door system for a vehicle door having a carrier and at least two guide rails disposed on the carrier. The guide rails include a guide profile that can be twisted or bent for guiding an adjusting part of the window lifter coupled to the window pane along an adjusting direction predetermined by the guide rails and the guide profile includes a base and two legs protruding at obtuse draft angles from the ends of the base, such that the size of the draft angles is proportional to the bending or twisting of the guide rails prescribed by the kinematics of the retraction of the window pane over the adjusting travel of the window pane.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes method for replacement of the slide block of a single arm automotive window lift regulator that was damaged due to normal wear-and-tear on the window regulator, or from stress placed on the slide block of the window regulator at the point where the slide block is attached to the window regulator arm. The invention applies to the window regulators installed in the w901, 902 and 903 series Mercedes Benz Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter vans, built between 1995 and 2006, Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans built between 1995-2002, Dodge Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006, Freightliner Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006. The method of the present invention provides a service kit that contains a replacement slide block of a different design and material, replacement mounting bolt of a specific design and a locking nut.

A vehicular laminated glass, which has a first glass plate and a second glass plate facing each other, an interlayer between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, and a light control film capable of switching the visible light transmission provided inside the interlayer, which further has a lower edge portion to which wiring to the light control film is connected, an upper edge portion facing the lower edge portion, and side edge portions connecting the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion, wherein the first glass plate has a first main surface located on the opposite side to the interlayer and a second main surface facing the interlayer, the second glass plate has a third main surface facing the interlayer and a fourth main surface located on the opposite side to the interlayer, which has a first shielding layer between the first main surface and the light control film.

A vehicle and a window assembly include a window movable between a closed and open position. The assembly includes an arm movable between a first and second position. The window is disposed in the closed position when the arm is in the first position and the window disposed in the open position when the arm is in the second position. The arm includes an extension fixed thereto such that the arm and the extension both move concurrently about a first pivot point. The assembly includes a connector coupled to the extension at a second pivot point. The arm is coupled to the window through the connector. The first and second pivot points are spaced from each other. The connector is coupled to the window such that movement of the arm moves the connector about the second pivot point which causes the window to move between the closed and open positions.
