Abstract

A guiding slideway for a moving sheet, in particular for a motor vehicle window, the slideway being intended to be mounted in a generally channel-section frame whose flanges terminate in sharp edges, the slideway including two sealing lips connected to two side flanges which are interconnected by a transverse web, wherein said web (20) and its portions connecting it to said side flanges (15) are shaped to constitute a resiliently deformable toggle action linkage which is disposed in such a manner that the slideway can easily be inserted without force into said frame while said slideway is in its rest position, i.e. the position it takes up when no external force is applied thereto, after which said slideway is deformed in such a manner as to lock it into place in the frame merely by pressing against said web in such a manner as to operate said toggle action linkage.
