Abstract
The invention relates to an interior lining for a car door, the lining being fitted with a carrier panel which is integral with the lining and to which is fixed a window lifting mechanism which is fitted with a window mounted on a support, the lining being fitted with at least one stop means to limit the lateral displacement of the window in a substantially horizontal direction, the stop means having a free end and an opposing end which is connected to the carrier panel. The invention is characterized in that the stop means has, at least without any strain applied thereto by the window, a naturally curved shape which comprises a contact region with the window, which contact region is arranged with spacing from the free end of the stop means, the stop means further being capable of being deformed in a resilient manner in contact with the window in order to push away the window by exerting a restoring force directed in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the window.
