A vehicle window regulator includes a fixing lug including a first part for fixing to a window guide rail having a window-guiding direction and a second part for fixing to a vehicle body. The second part defines a plane, and a normal line perpendicular to the plane that is inclined relative to the window-guiding direction. The normal line is preferably inclined at an angle of approximately 45&#xb0; relative to the window-guiding direction. The lug can be fixed in the vehicle body without the lug turning on itself during fixing by screwing, for example.

A window regulator cable tensioner includes a screw and nut assembly having an irreversible thread lead angle, a first spring to absorb reversible slack in the cable, and a second spring to actuate movement of the screw and nut assembly. The stiffness of the first spring is greater than the stiffness of the second spring. The cable tensioner absorbs the reversible slack in the cable differently from irreversible slack in the cable.

A window regulator and method for assembling a vehicle door incorporating it are provided. The method comprises inserting the screw thread of a screw with two heads into the screw thread of a plate secured to an outer panel of the door. The screw passes through an oblong hole in a lug substantially perpendicular to a slider guide of a window regulator rail. The transverse position of the rail with respect to the screw is adjusted. The screw is tightened using its upper head. The screw is loosened later using the lower screw head. The adjustment of the transverse position of the rail is then tweaked and the screw is tightened again using the lower screw head. This makes assembling and adjusting the transverse position of a window in a vehicle door easier.

A window lifter includes at least one panel, a rail for guiding a slider, and a lower attachment of the lower end of the rail to the panel able selectively to cause the rail to slide transversely with respect to the panel, and a one-piece upper attachment of the upper end of the rail to the panel able to cause the upper end of the rail to pivot with respect to the panel about a longitudinal axis. The window lifter makes it possible to reduce the number of parts in a window lifter and makes it easier to assemble.

Door with adjustable guide rail and corresponding method of assembly

This invention relates to a system for fixing a window regulator on a frameless door of a vehicle equipped with a fixed front window pane and a mobile rear pane, the front edge of the mobile pane being guided by a slideway which extends between the panes and of which the lower part is fixed in the door. The window regulator comprises a front rail and a rear rail parallel to the slideway, on which slide sliders displaced by cables actuated by a drive. The front rail is rigidly connected to the slideway in order to ensure parallelism between these two elements.
