Abstract
A door and door window regulator which prevents the cable member from making contact with the door glass includes a door having inner and outer panels, a guide rail having one end connected to the outer panel and the other end connected to the inner panel, a window bracket slidably supported along the guide rail through a slide member and connected to a door window, and a guide bracket located on the guide rail and supporting a motor. A drum is supported on the guide bracket and is rotated through operation of the motor, and a pulley is supported on the guide rail at a position spaced from the drum. The cable member is wrapped around the drum and includes a pair of cable ends, one end of which is connected with the window bracket after passing through the pulley and the other end of which is directly connected with the window bracket from the drum. The portions of the cable member extending from the pulley are located generally parallel to the length of the guide rail.
