ABSTRACT:
A vehicle access door is operatively mounted for powered fore and aft sliding movement between open and closed positions. A power module disposed internally of the vehicle has motor driven cable reels mounted on a space frame having door pull cables wound thereon routed by forward and rear cable guide assemblies into operative connection with the access door. The rear cable guide assembly is an adjustable two part guide pulley assembly in which a first housing part is adjustably carried by the space frame and the second housing part is adjustably mounted on the first housing part so that the assembly can be subsequently fitted and attached to production vehicles having a wide build tolerance in the support structure for the module and the rear cable guide assembly. The adjustment provided by the rear cable guide assembly assures high quality fits with good sealing of the pull cable access opening and positions the pull cable in an external guide channel to eliminate frictional wear between these components.
