Abstract
The invention pertains to a guide track for a movable windowpane, especially for a retractable windowpane of a motor vehicle, with at least one guide element for the windowpane displaceable along the guide track. In order to create a guide track with compact installation dimensions and at the same time a sufficient length for guiding the windowpane during its movement, it is proposed that the guide track for movement of the windowpane be retractable at least on one side.

A device in combination with a windowpane of a motor vehicle comprising:
- a pair of guide tracks for the windowpane running essentially parallel to and separated from each other, each of the guide tracks including a base track and telescoping extension track carried on the base track by a slide element, and guide element for the windowpane is displaceable along the extension track of the guide track, wherein the guide track is retractable on at least one of a pair of ends of the guide track, and the guide elements are joined together by a tie-bar and at least one connector element for the windowpane is provided on the tie-bar.
A device for in-and-out movement of a windowpane of a motor vehicle comprising:
- a pair of guide tracks for the windowpane running essentially parallel to and separated from each other, each of the guide tracks including at least one guide element for the windowpane displaceable along the guide track, wherein the guide track for in-and-out movement of the windowpane is retractable on at least one of a pair of ends of the guide track, and the guide elements are joined by a tie-bar having a substantially C-shaped cross section and at least one connector element for the windowpane is provided on the tic-bar, and wherein the guide elements include of a first and a second essentially rectangular slide part, which are, via a joint, arranged parallel to and separated from each other and rotated by approximately 90° relative to each other, and the second slide part is positively fitted into an undercut of the substantially C-shaped tie-bar.
