Abstract
A window regulator mechanism for motor vehicle door assembly is disclosed having a kick-out feature for moving of the lower edge of the glass outward as the glass is moved upward into the upper position such that the lower edge of the glass can be positioned flush with the exterior surface of the vehicle. Three separate embodiments are disclosed for providing the kick-out feature in the window regulator mechanism. The window regulator combines both the window drive and guidance systems into one mechanism, reducing the number of components in the door assembly.
