  • Self-fastening glass attachment clip
    Patent number: 7409797
    Abstract: A self-fastening window attachment clip is disposed within a cursor attached to a window lift mechanism. The clip includes a locking portion engaged with an attachment member secured to a window and received within a slot of the cursor. The clip includes a locking portion and a biasing portion that secures the attachment member within the cursor. The clip is disposed within the cursor and orientated such that insertion of the attachment member flexes the locking portion out or the slot. With the attachment member in contact with the biasing portion, the locking portion is free to spring back across the slot and engage a top portion of the attachment member. The locking portion engages the attachment member and prevents removal of the attachment member from the slot of the cursor.
