Abstract

There is provided an apparatus for regulating the position of an adjustably positionable vehicle part such as a window or movable roof. The apparatus includes an electric drive motor having a drive shaft which is axially displaceable within a fixed limit during driving operation of the shaft. The apparatus also includes a power transfer assembly having a driven member operatively connected to the drive shaft of the electric drive motor for driving movement thereby and a damping member for damping the axial displacement of the drive shaft of the electric motor in one axial direction. The apparatus further includes a housing having a chamber compatibly dimensioned with respect to the damping member for receiving the damping member therein in a press fit disposition.
