Abstract
A vehicle door window-lift comprises a guide rail for a slider supporting a window capable of being driven by a cable and a dowel pin for automatically fixing the slider on the window. The dowel pin is adapted to slide in a bore in the slider and in a hole in the window. Two ramps on the guide rail cause the dowel pin to slide automatically from a delivery position wherein it is not inserted in the hole, into an operative position wherein it penetrates in the window hole and locks the slider on the window. The two ramps are inclined relative to an axis of the dowel pin such that when the slider moves along the rail, the slider causes the dowel pin to be thrust by one of the ramps from its delivery position towards its operative position wherein it penetrates into the window hole and locks the slider on the window. The arrangement avoids providing locking by deformation of a plastic part.
