ABSTRACT:
Stabilizing mechanism for the rear end of a raised vehicle window includes a stabilizer track mounted in the door and including a vertical upper portion and a forward curving lower portion. A stabilizer link has a lower end carrying a roller captured in the track and an upper end pivoted to a sash bracket carried by the window. The link erects to a stand-up position extending between the track and the window when the window is raised. The link collapses to a stored position extending between the lower portion of the track and the sash bracket when the window is lowered. The link has an offset arm carrying a tapered pin which seats in a bushing carried by the door as the window reaches the fully raised position to stabilize the link to the door. The link and the sash bracket have interfitting tongue and groove elements which mate as the window reaches its fully raised position to stabilize the link to the window. A roller yieldably mounted on the window is carried into engagement with an angled wall of the door to force the window against the weather strip defining the window opening.
