1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to doors for a motor vehicle, and more particularly, to automotive doors of a type which is equipped with a power window.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Hitherto, various automotive doors of the above-mentioned type have been proposed and put into practical use. However, due to their inherent constructions, some of them have failed to make a satisfied operation of the power window mounted therein. In fact, after long use, some of them tend to have such a problem that the upward and downward movement of the window pane can not be made smoothly due to unavoidable deformation of the door. The deformation of the door tends to cause a play of the window pane particularly at the time when the window pane is halfly or incompletely opened. Such play produces a noise during cruising of the vehicle. Furthermore, some of the automotive doors have failed to have a sufficient space for accommodating the power window. In this case, the work for mounting the power window to the door is difficult.
Furthermore, hitherto, inspection of the power window has been carried out after the same is properly mounted to the door. However, such inspection is troublesome. In fact, when a defect is found in the power window, it becomes necessary to dismantle the same from the door for repairing the same. Thereafter, the power window should be mounted to the door again. This is very troublesome and time consuming.
