Abstract:
1. An adjustable window regulator lifter plate assembly for a vehicle window having a top edge, comprising; a base configured for movement along a path, wherein the base has an inboard side and an outboard side; a cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower that moves along a path on the base, and has a cam following surface; a window holder that is configured to receive and hold the vehicle window, wherein the window holder is movably connected to the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower; and a cross-car orientation adjustment cam positioned to engage the cam following surface, wherein the cross-car orientation adjustment cam is rotatable to move the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower along the path on the base, wherein movement of the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower along the path on the base controls a cross-car orientation of the window holder, wherein the cross-car orientation adjustment cam is entirely inboard of the window holder and includes a shaft that passes through the base and has an end that has a tool receiving member that is accessible from the inboard side of the base, wherein the tool receiving member is engageable by a tool for causing rotation of the cross-car orientation adjustment cam; and a threaded bolt passing through an aperture in the base and an aperture in the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower, the threaded bolt fastening the window holder to the base so as to sandwich the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower between the base and the window holder; and a retainer pin passing through and connecting the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower and the base so as to prevent the cross-car orientation adjustment cam follower from falling off the base when the threaded bolt is not present.
