A door and door window regulator which prevents the cable member from making contact with the door glass includes a door having inner and outer panels, a guide rail having one end connected to the outer panel and the other end connected to the inner panel, a window bracket slidably supported along the guide rail through a slide member and connected to a door window, and a guide bracket located on the guide rail and supporting a motor. A drum is supported on the guide bracket and is rotated through operation of the motor, and a pulley is supported on the guide rail at a position spaced from the drum. The cable member is wrapped around the drum and includes a pair of cable ends, one end of which is connected with the window bracket after passing through the pulley and the other end of which is directly connected with the window bracket from the drum. The portions of the cable member extending from the pulley are located generally parallel to the length of the guide rail.

Door window regulator

A sliding door locking device has a fully opened condition locking mechanism and a fully closed condition locking mechanism for locking a sliding door to a vehicle body when the sliding door is at its fully opened position and fully closed position, respectively. When an inside handle is rotated in one direction for closing the sliding door, the inside handle is connected only to the fully opened condition locking mechanism for releasing the fully opened condition locking mechanism. On the other hand, when the inside handle is rotated in the other direction for opening the sliding door, the inside handle is connected to both the fully opened condition locking mechanism and the fully closed condition locking mechanism for releasing both.

Sliding door locking device

A sliding door structure for opening/closing a sliding door by guiding it to slide has a guide rail having a component for sliding the slide door upwardly and an insert hole for facilitating an insertion of a roller into an inside space of the guide rail.

Sliding door structure

An outside handle of a vehicular sliding door to open/close an opening of a vehicle body, having a bell crank portion which is formed into an L-shape having a first joint and a second joint at its leading ends and is turnably supported at its L-shaped bent portion on a the base portion through a crank pin. A fixed link is formed between the handle pin of the handle portion and the crank pin of the bell crank portion to construct a four-point link mechanism together with the handle portion, the sub-link portion and the bell crank portion.
