Methods and apparatus for supporting a window glass lift plate

A door module of a vehicle, comprising:

• an outer panel and an inner panel;
• a panel of door glass located between the outer and inner panels and including an upper peripheral edge and a lower peripheral edge;
• a lift plate coupled to the lower peripheral edge of the door glass such that a regulator may move the door glass between a full-up position and a full-down position within the door module via the lift plate;
• and
• a position block movable within the door module to:
• (i) a first position below the lift plate such that the lift plate rests on the position block and the door glass is at a position above the full-down position when the door glass is inserted into the lift plate during manufacture, and (ii) after such insertion, a second position that permits the lift plate to move further downward such that the door glass is at the full-down position,
• wherein the inner panel includes an aperture through which a user can manipulate the position block, and the position block includes a sealing element which mates with and seals the aperture when in the second position.
