ABSTRACT:
A window adjustment apparatus is provided for use with an automotive vehicle type of window assembly of the type having an elongate guide channel defining a longitudinal axis and which mounts a window for reciprocal motion relative to a vehicle body panel such as a vehicle door, and a pivot arrangement which mounts the guide channel for pivotal movement generally about one end thereof and within the vehicle body panel in which the guide channel is located. The window adjustment apparatus includes a housing and an adjustment member having a channel-coupling portion or coupling thereof to the guide channel at a location thereon generally remotely located from the end about which the guide channel is mounted for pivotal motion. A driven member is mounted to the adjustment member and a drive member is rotatably mounted to the housing, and is of complementary form with the driven member for engaging the same for causing bidirectional movement of the adjustment member relative to the housing to achieve this bidirectional movement of the guide-channel in response to bidirectional rotation of the drive member. An engageable member is accessible for engagement and bidirectional rotation from exteriorly of the body panel, such that bidirectional rotation of the engageable member achieves a predetermined and corresponding amount of bidirectional, pivotal motion of the guide channel.
