Abstract

A drive mechanism for the window of a motor vehicle having a driven base member with the window affixed thereto and guided for movement along a longitudinal guide rail is activated by a driving member which is connected with the base member to drive the base member along the guide rail. A guide flange provided on the guide rail is engaged with slide elements formed on the base member which are arranged to rest against the sides of the guide rail and at least one of the slide elements is formed with a flexible construction. The slide elements include a pair of lateral slide elements arranged spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail which rest against one side of the guide flange and a central slide element arranged between the lateral slide elements which rests against the other side of the guide flange.
