Abstract
A window regulator mechanism for a motor vehicle door providing ready adjustability to accommodate manufacturing tolerances in the door glass guide channels receiving the side edges of the window glass or, in the case of a sashless door, to accommodate manufacturing tolerances in the seal carried by the vehicle body. Adjustability is provided by a cam member which is rotatly mounted on carrier plate of a carrier assembly and which coacts with a follower surface on a glass clip mounted on an upper edge of the carrier plate. The follower surface is provided as a cutout in a lower edge of a stabilizer portion of the glass clip whereby the stabilizer portion serves not only to preclude cocking of the glass clip relative to the carrier plate but also to provide the cam follower surface for coaction with the cam member carried by the carrier plate.
