Abstract: The invention relates to a window regulator comprising a generally flat tape having sufficient flexibility to follow a curved path of substantial radius but being sufficiently rigid to transmit in compression, when guided in a functionally rigid track, sufficient force to regulate a vehicle window, said tape having at one side a series of transversely extending substantially rack shaped teeth, the ends of said teeth being spaced from the edges of said tape to leave flat side guide portions, and a functionally rigid but bendable track comprising a channel having reversely bent guide flanges spaced to receive the toothed portion of said rack.A drive pinion is in mesh with the rack teeth, and preferably the track is curved to present a concavity to the drive pinion.
