Abstract
A fixed window panel is fixed relative to a frame portion. A drive system is operable to move a movable window panel between an opened position and a closed position. The drive system includes (i) a drive motor, (ii) a threaded shaft rotatably driven by the drive motor, (iii) a connecting element that threadedly receives the threaded shaft and (iv) a window connector that is attached at the movable window panel and that pivotally connects to the connecting element via a ball-and-socket connection. Rotation of the threaded shaft imparts a translational movement of the connecting element along the threaded shaft to move the movable window panel between the opened and closed positions.
