Abstract

In a method and a device for adjusting a frameless window pane of a motor vehicle by means of a motorized window lifter activated by a control device, for adjusting the window pane between an open position and a closed position, in which the window pane upper edge is arranged in a window pane seal associated therewith and connected to the motor vehicle roof, the closed position of the window pane and/or the closing force with which the window pane bears against the window pane seal, is altered depending on the relative position of the window pane seal to the window pane upper edge. As a result, a connection of the window pane upper edge to the window pane seal which remains the same irrespective of the driving speed of the motor vehicle, is guaranteed and ensures that even at higher driving speeds there is no occurrence of leakages or increased wind noise.
