Abstract: A jack storage assembly is provided for use in conjunction with an automotive vehicle having a wheel well for storage of a spare tire and in which the wheel well includes a bracket over which the spare tire is positioned. The assembly includes a bucket which is adapted to contain a jack, and the bucket is detachably secured to the bracket so that the spare tire is sandwiched in between the bucket and the wheel well. The cover is then positioned over the spare tire while a fastener is detachably secured to the bucket such that the cover is sandwiched in between the fastener and the bucket.

Abstract: A window stabilizer for a window pane, such as those used in automotive vehicles, is disclosed. The window stabilizer includes a bracket and a first and second roller. An axle is associated with each roller for rotatably mounting the roller to the bracket so that the axes of rotation of the rollers are spaced apart and parallel to each other. Furthermore, the spacing between the rollers is such that the rollers engage opposite sides of the window pane thus stabilizing the window pane during movement and while stationary.

Abstract: A novel friction pad is disclosed for use with a motor vehicle window stabilizer of the type having at least one face which frictionally engages a window pane as it moves between its raised and its lowered position. The friction pad is constructed from an elastomeric substrate having a planar base and a plurality of spaced apart projections extending outwardly from one side of the base. The projections and the base are of a one piece construction. A coating of synthetic material, such as nylon or polyester, is then flocked onto the side of the base thus covering both that side of the base as well as the projections. The resulting friction pad is then secured to the confronting face of the window stabilizer.
