Abstract
A mechanism for stablizing the lateral position of a raised window in a vehicle door includes a guide track mounted vertically within the window storage cavity of the door and a stabilizer strut slidably interengaged with the stabilizer strut for vertical movement therealong. A slider channel is attached to the window and slidably interengaged for vertical movement along the stabilizer strut. The slidable interengagement between the slider channel and the stabilizer strut is characterized by tapered walls on the slider channel which provide a small area of frictional contact with the stabilizer strut during sliding movement until the slider channel reaches the fully raised position with respect to the stabilizer strut at which point the tapered walls on the stabilizer strut engage with the tapered walls of the slider channel to provide a full length interengagement therebetween which functions to substantially stabilize the glass laterally of the vehicle in the fully raised position.
