Pivoting cursor for frameless glass in a vehicle

1. A pivoting cursor for a frameless window of a vehicle door, comprising:

a main body portion;

a pivoting plate pivotally secured to the main body portion for pivotal movement about an axis;

a clamping plate, the clamping plate passing through an opening in the pivoting plate such that a portion of the clamping plate is located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion;

a seal; and

a threaded adjuster for pivoting the pivoting plate with respect to the main body portion and wherein the portion of the clamping plate located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion slidably receives the threaded adjuster.

2. The pivoting cursor as in claim 1 , wherein the pivoting plate is rotationally mounted to a shaft that is secured to the main body portion.

3. The pivoting cursor as in claim 1 , wherein the threaded adjuster comprises a nut and a threaded fastener.

4. The pivoting cursor as in claim 3 , wherein the threaded fastener threadingly engages the nut and a threaded opening of the pivoting plate.

5. The pivoting cursor as in claim 4 , wherein the threaded fastener does not threadingly engage an opening in the clamping plate.

6. The pivoting cursor as in claim 4 , wherein threads of the nut and the threaded opening are configured such that rotation of the threaded fastener therein will cause the pivoting plate to pivot about the axis and cause a portion of the pivoting plate secured to the threaded fastener to move in a direction away from a portion of the main body portion proximate to the threaded fastener, which will also cause movement of the clamping plate, the seal and a window that is received within the seal.

7. The pivoting cursor as in claim 3 , wherein the threaded fastener includes a flange portion located between the main body portion and the clamping plate.

8. The pivoting cursor as in claim 1 , further comprising a pair of sliders secured to the main body portion.

9. The pivoting cursor as in claim 8 , wherein the pair of sliders are formed a different material than that of the main body portion.

10. A door module, comprising:

a window regulator secured to an inner door panel of the door module, the window regulator including a pair of guide rails fixedly secured to the inner door panel of the door module; and

a pivoting cursor for slidably engaging one of the pair of guide rails, the pivoting cursor comprising: a main body portion; a pivoting plate pivotally secured to the main body portion for pivotal movement about an axis; a clamping plate, the clamping plate passing through an opening in the pivoting plate such that a portion of the clamping plate is located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion; a seal; and a threaded adjuster for pivoting the pivoting plate with respect to the main body portion and wherein the portion of the clamping plate located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion slidably receives the threaded adjuster.

11. The door module as in claim 10 , wherein the pivoting plate is rotationally mounted to a shaft that is secured to the main body portion.

12. The door module as in claim 10 , wherein the threaded adjuster comprises a nut and a threaded fastener.

13. The door module as in claim 12 , wherein the threaded fastener threadingly engages the nut and a threaded opening of the pivoting plate.

14. The door module as in claim 13 , wherein the threaded fastener does not threadingly engage an opening in the clamping plate.

15. The door module as in claim 12 , wherein the door module is a rear door module and a frameless window is secured to the pivoting cursor.

16. The door module as in claim 15 , wherein the pivoting cursor is a pair of pivoting cursors each one of the pair of pivoting cursors being slidably secured to a respective one of the pair of guide rails.

17. The door module as in claim 16 , wherein threads of the nut and the threaded opening are configured such that rotation of the threaded fastener therein will cause the pivoting plate to pivot about the axis and cause a portion of the pivoting plate secured to the threaded fastener to move in a direction away from a portion of the main body portion proximate to the threaded fastener, which will also cause movement of the clamping plate, the seal and the frameless window that is received within seal.

18. The door module as in claim 10 , wherein the pivoting cursor further comprises a pair of sliders secured to the main body portion, the pair of sliders being configured to slidably engage one of the pair of guide rails.

19. The door module as in claim 10 , wherein the door module is a front door module and a frameless window is secured to the pivoting cursor.

20. A method of mounting a frameless window of a vehicle to a door module, comprising:

securing a portion of the frameless window to a pivoting cursor slidably engaging one of a pair of guide rails of a window regulator secured to the door module; and

adjusting a location of the frameless window by pivoting a pivoting plate of the pivoting cursor with respect to a main body portion of the pivoting cursor, the pivoting cursor further comprising a clamping plate passing through an opening in the pivoting plate such that a portion of the clamping plate is located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion and a threaded adjuster for pivoting the pivoting plate with respect to the main body portion, wherein the portion of the clamping plate located between the pivoting plate and the main body portion slidably receives the threaded adjuster.
