Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicle door glass regulator adapted for use with doors having a rearwardly angled B-pillar, wherein the mechanism forces of the regulator are directed parallel with the B-pillar to reduce undesirable forces due to inaccurate tracking. The regulator includes a curved or bent lift arm and two balance arms, one of which is pivotally connected at one end to an intermediate point on the lift arm and at the other end to a guideway on the door, the second pivotally connected at one end to the same intermediate point on the lift arm and at the other end to a guideway on the window. The sum of the angles defining the bend of the lift arm and the slant of the B-pillar is preferably about 180.degree., and the balance arms are preferably of equal length and form an angle about equal to that defining the bend of the lift arm.
