A guiding slideway for a moving sheet, in particular for a motor vehicle window, the slideway being intended to be mounted in a generally channel-section frame whose flanges terminate in sharp edges, the slideway including two sealing lips connected to two side flanges which are interconnected by a transverse web, wherein said web (20) and its portions connecting it to said side flanges (15) are shaped to constitute a resiliently deformable toggle action linkage which is disposed in such a manner that the slideway can easily be inserted without force into said frame while said slideway is in its rest position, i.e. the position it takes up when no external force is applied thereto, after which said slideway is deformed in such a manner as to lock it into place in the frame merely by pressing against said web in such a manner as to operate said toggle action linkage.
A guiding slideway for a moving sheet, the slideway comprising two sealing lips connected to two side flanges which are interconnected by a traverse web, wherein said web comprises first and second webs connected to each other at a first end of each web and respectively connected to said side flanges at a second end of each web, said pair of webs forming at their junction an angle projecting towards said lips when the slideway is not locked into a run channel, and forming an angle projecting away from said lips when the slideway is locked into a run channel, wherein the sum of the lengths of said first and second webs is greater than the space allowed for the web within the run channel, whereby the slideway is locked within the run channel by a toggle action when inserted therein.
