Abstract
Herein disclosed is a window regulator of a sashless door, which comprises a link motion device which can assume both a contracted condition and an expanded condition. When the window pane is moved up near its full-closed uppermost position, the link motion device changes its condition from the contracted condition to the expanded condition thereby shifting the lower portion of the window pane outwardly, that is, toward the outer panel of the door.
