The door module comprising a carrier plate, a drive unit arranged on the carrier plate for driving a power-operated adjustment device of the door module, and a decoupling means arranged on the carrier plate for attenuating an acoustic excitation of the carrier plate in operation of the drive unit. The decoupling means is formed by at least one slot, which partly separates a portion carrying the drive unit from another portion of the carrier plate and extends around the drive unit or around a fastening point of the drive unit on the carrier plate in a circumferential direction, and at least one web, which connects the portion carrying the drive unit with the other portion of the carrier plate.

Abstract: A window lifter assembly is provided including a flexible pulling means for transmitting a driving force produced by a window lifter drive to a window pane to be adjusted, having a carrier, which is to be coupled to flexible pulling means and to which the window pane is to be fixed so that the window pane is connected to the flexible pulling means via the carrier. Additionally, the window lifter assembly includes guiding means being spaced from the carrier for guiding the window pane along an adjustment path defined by the guiding means. The window pane is moved together with the carrier in said adjustment path if a drive force is applied to the window pane without the carrier engaging in a guiding device that extends along the adjustment path in addition to the connection of the carrier to the flexible pulling means.
