Window panel position regulating assembly

Abstract

A vehicle window regulating and sealing assembly for raising and lowering a window. The window is supported at the sides within vertical guide channels by pivotal sliding upper and lower guide members attached to the window. The guide channels include an outwardly extending curved ramp section within which the lower guide members track to cause the window to pivot about the upper guide members as it nears the raised position thereby causing the window to firmly bear against relatively non-yielding sealing members to establish a perfectly flush positioning of the window relative to the vehicle exterior. The guide channel members each include a housing having an elongate U-shaped elastomeric seal disposed with its open end facing the window and receiving in sealing engagement a vane type seal member affixed to the window whereby a seal is maintained between each guide channel and the window between the upper and lower guide members when the window is fully raised and at all times during the raising and lowering of the window when the upper guide member is above the beltline.
