Window lift mechanism

A window lift mechanism comprising:

• a mounting member;
• a guide on said mounting member defining a path;
• a glass bar supported on said guide and moveable relative thereto along said path;
• a drive block supported on said glass bar and moveable relative thereto in a direction transverse to said path;
• and
• a drive mechanism connected to said drive block for moving said drive block and said glass bar along said path, wherein said drive block includes a threaded aperture receiving a portion of said drive mechanism and said glass bar includes a slot at least partially aligned with said threaded aperture for permitting said portion to extend through said glass bar.

A window lift mechanism comprising:

• a mounting member;
• a guide on said mounting member defining a non-linear path;
• a glass bar assembly supported on said guide and moveable relative thereto along said path, said glass bar assembly including a threaded aperture;
• a worm gear in spaced relationship from said guide and disposed within said threaded aperture for rotation therein;
• and
• a drive motor rotatingly driving said worm gear for moving said glass bar assembly along said path.

A window lift mechanism comprising:

• a mounting member having a surface;
• a guide defined by said surface and including a cross-sectional shape, said guide defining a path;
• a glass bar assembly supported on said guide and moveable relative thereto along said path, said glass bar assembly having an opening with a shape complimentary to said cross-sectional shape for slidingly receiving said guide;
• and
• a drive mechanism connected to said glass bar assembly for moving said glass bar assembly along said path.
