Problems solved by technology

Some solutions may require undesired changes to the door structure
Still other proposals call for major changes to conventional door structures that are costly to implement and create other undesired problems within the door structure / mechanism, starting with the combination of window regulator assemblies and glass run channels. The benefit is minimized

Embodiment Construction

[0018] 1-7 illustrate various portions of a vehicle door 10 having a door inner panel 12 . Door inner panel 12 includes: structure forming a window frame 14 that defines a window frame opening 16; a bottom edge 17 commonly referred to as a beltline; and other structure forming a lower portion 18 of a vehicle door, wherein the door The lower portion 18 defines an operating aperture 20 . The access aperture 20 allows various components and subassemblies, such as the latch / window regulator module 24 , to be assembled to the vehicle door 10 .

[0019] A latch / window regulator module 24 is mounted to the inner door panel 12 . The latch / window regulator module 24 includes a door latch assembly 26 mounted to a rear integrated slot / regulator 28, a front integrated slot / regulator 30, and a window regulator cable assembly 32 (only shown in FIG. cable 33). A window regulator cable assembly 32 is mounted to and extends between the rear and front integrated tanks / regulators 28,30.

Abstract

A vehicle door that may include a latch / window regulator module and rear and forward integrated channel / regulators, is disclosed. The rear integrated channel / regulator may include a glass run channel that is integral with a window regulator guide rail, and may also have a door latch assembly mounted to it. Other features may be integral with and extend from the rear integrated channel / regulator. The forward integrated channel / regulator may include a glass run channel that is integral with a window regulator guide rail, and may include an integral flange to which a cable drum and motor are mounted. The latch / window regulator module may be pre-assembled before being assembled into the vehicle door.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to vehicle doors, and more particularly to vehicle doors with integrated glass run channels and window regulators. Background technique [0002] For a typical door with a movable window glass, the glass run assembly is separate from the window regulator rail. The guide rail, along with the remainder of the window regulator assembly, is typically located between and spaced from the glass run channels. Thus, different components can be mounted and aligned independently. But this requires a large number of parts and multiple assemblies, which again results in cost and assembly times that are longer than desired. [0003] Recently, it has been proposed to combine the glass run and window regulator assemblies into one subassembly. However, although this proposed solution incorporates these components, this has proven to be insufficient. Some proposals have created conflicting inner and outer constraints on the w...
