Abstract: A window glass assembly that automatically adjusts for variations in cable tension is provided. The window glass assembly includes a cable drum housing and at least one window cable extending from the housing for actuating a window. A first sleeve having ratchet teeth and an interior portion allows the window cable to pass through the sleeve. A first spring engages the first sleeve and a spring clip is retained in the cable drum housing and engages the ratchet teeth.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly is mounted on a support panel for operating a door latch. The door handle assembly has a D-shaped door handle that includes an integral pivot pin. A lock button has a part cylindrical socket that receives the pivot pin to mount the lock button pivotally on the door handle. The pivot pin is shaped to provide a cross section that has a minimum thickness to facilitate lateral insertion of the pivot pin into the part cylindrical socket via a loading slot. The door handle also includes integral trunnions for mounting the door handle pivotally on the support panel.

Abstract: An automotive door is equipped with a window regulator for raising and lowering a window glass. The window regulator includes reconfigurable bracket assemblies that are mirror images of each other. Each bracket assembly includes a base plate that has a guide block for attaching the bracket assembly to a guide member of the automotive window regulator, and a clamp plate that is attached to the base plate in a first position with respect to the clamp plate or in a second position with respect to the clamp plate. The base plate is symmetrical with respect to an imaginary lateral centerline whereby a first bracket assembly may be configured by attaching the clamp plate to the base plate in the first position or a second bracket assembly may be produced by attaching the clamp plate to the base plate in the second position, the second clamp plate being a mirror image of the first bracket assembly.
