• a cable drum;
• a cable assembly including a Bowden cable sheath and a cable extending through the Bowden cable sheath, and the cable drum is configured to wind the cable;
• a first slider configured to be guided on the first guide rail and configured as a single-part to be movable solely as a whole between an upper end position (A) and a lower end position (C);
• a second slider configured to be guided on the second guide rail and configured as a single-part to be movable solely as a whole between the upper end position (A) and the lower end position (C), wherein winding the cable about the cable drum translates the first slider and the second slider along the first guide rail and the second guide rail towards the first stop and the second stop, respectively, to carry a window pane towards a closed position, in which the first slider is spaced apart from the first stop by a predetermined distance in the upper end position (A), based on a length of the Bowden cable sheath, and the second slider lies against the second stop in the upper end position (A),
• an upper first cable deflector is disposed in an upper end region of the first guide rail;
• a lower second cable deflector disposed a lower end region of the second guide rail, wherein a first cable section of the cable is coupled to the first slider and the upper first cable deflector is configured to guide the cable section to the cable drum and the lower second cable deflector is configured to guide the drive cable from the cable drum to the second slider;
• an upper second cable deflector disposed in an upper end region of the second guide rail;
• and
• a lower first cable deflector arranged in a lower end region of the first guide rail, wherein a second cable section is coupled to the second slider and the upper second cable deflector is configured to guide the second cable section to the second slider and the lower first cable deflector guides the second cable section to the first slider.

A vehicle door comprising:
