The carrier plate is installed inside a door of the vehicle so as to be movable upward/downward. A module plate, on which the carrier plate is installed so as to be movable upward/downward, is installed inside the door of the vehicle. A driving motor is provided to move the carrier plate upward/downward. The module plate and the carrier plate are provided with an impact noise preventing means for gradually decelerating and stopping the carrier plate when the door glass is being maximally moved upward or downward. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A door glass assembly configured to reduce an impact noise generated when a door glass is moved upward/downward, the door glass assembly comprising: a carrier plate coupled to a glass holder, the door glass of a vehicle being secured to the glass holder, and the carrier plate and the glass holder being installed inside a door of the vehicle so as to be movable upward/downward; a module plate, the carrier plate being installed on the module plate so as to be movable upward/downward, and the module plate being installed inside the door of the vehicle; and a driving motor provided to move the carrier plate upward/downward, wherein the module plate and the carrier plate are provided with an impact noise preventing means for gradually decelerating and stopping the carrier plate when the door glass is being maximally moved upward or downward, wherein the impact noise preventing means comprises stoppers installed on an upper portion and a lower portion of the module plate, respectively, to limit upward and downward movements of the module plate, and an elastic member installed on one side of the carrier plate to be brought into contact with the stoppers and compressed immediately before the carrier plate is stopped when the door glass is maximally moved upward or downward, and wherein the elastic member is provided with caps provided at an upper end and a lower end thereof to cover the upper end and the lower end of the elastic member, respectively. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The door glass assembly of claim 1, wherein the stoppers comprise: an upper limit stopper formed on the upper portion of the module plate to limit an upward movement of the door glass; and a lower limit stopper formed on the lower portion of the module plate to limit a downward movement of the door glass. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The door glass assembly of claim 2, wherein the upper limit stopper and the lower limit stopper are formed to protrude from the module plate in a widthwise direction of the vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The door glass assembly of claim 2, wherein the upper limit stopper and the lower limit stopper are formed on a trajectory of the carrier plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The door glass assembly of claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a spring installed on the carrier plate to be compressed or lengthened in an upward/downward movement direction of the carrier plate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The door glass assembly of claim 5, wherein the spring is a coil spring, to be compressed or lengthened in the upward/downward movement direction of the carrier plate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The door glass assembly of claim 5, wherein the carrier plate comprises a guide formed thereon to restrict a side surface of the elastic member and accommodate the elastic member therein. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The door glass assembly of claim 7, wherein the guide is formed to have opened upper and lower ends so as to allow the stopper to enter therein and to compress the elastic member. ### Claim 9 A door glass assembly configured to reduce an impact noise generated when a door glass is moved upward/downward, the door glass assembly comprising: a carrier plate coupled to a glass holder, the door glass of a vehicle being secured to the glass holder, and the carrier plate and the glass holder being installed inside a door of the vehicle so as to be movable upward/downward; a module plate, the carrier plate being installed on the module plate so as to be movable upward/downward, and the module plate being installed inside the door of the vehicle; and a driving motor provided to move the carrier plate upward/downward, wherein the module plate and the carrier plate are provided with an impact noise preventing means for gradually decelerating and stopping the carrier plate when the door glass is being maximally moved upward or downward, wherein the impact noise preventing means comprises elastic members installed on an upper portion and a lower portion of the module plate, respectively, to limit upward and downward movements of the module plate, and a stopper installed on one side of the carrier plate to be brought into contact with the elastic members and to compress the elastic members immediately before the carrier plate is stopped when the door glass is maximally moved upward or downward, and wherein the elastic members are each provided with a cap at an upper end or a lower end thereof to cover the upper end or the lower end of the elastic members, respectively, that is brought into contact with the stopper. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The door glass assembly of claim 9, wherein the stopper is formed to protrude from the carrier plate in a widthwise direction of a vehicle. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The door glass assembly of claim 9, wherein the elastic members installed on the upper portion and the lower portion of the module plate, respectively, are formed on a trajectory of the carrier plate. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The door glass assembly of claim 9, wherein each elastic member is a spring installed on the module plate to be compressed or lengthened in an upward/downward movement direction of the carrier plate. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The door glass assembly of claim 12, wherein the module plate comprises a guide formed thereon to restrict a side surface of each spring and to accommodate each spring therein.
