ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for installing a window, a window drive mechanism, and a latch carrier mechanism within a vehicle door includes a one-piece cable regulator having a molded passage thereabout for guiding at least one length of cable between the window and the window drive mechanism, a molded vertical passage for guiding motion of the window, a molded cantilever beam for contacting and gradually reducing the downward motion of the window near a window stop position and a molded guide for slideable cooperation with the door latch carrier, whereby the door latch carrier, once slideably secured within the guide, may be shifted over the cable regulator to a compact shipping and installation position, and then may be shifted outward from the cable regulator to a final assembly position within the door.
