Claims (31)

1. A window treatment adjustment assembly for use on a vehicle of a type having a window that includes a movable window treatment and a screen that covers at least a portion of the movable window treatment, the window treatment adjustment assembly comprising:

a slider configured to be located adjacent the movable window treatment;

a guide rail located adjacent the slider and the movable window treatment;

a guide on the slider;

wherein the guide on the slider engages the guide rail so the slider is movable with respect to the guide rail; and

a handle that extends from the slider and selectively through an opening in the screen.

2. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the guide rail is a longitudinally-extending guide rail configured to be located on a vehicle window, and wherein the slider is movable with respect to the longitudinally-extending guide rail.

3. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the slider includes at least one magnet that is in magnetic communication with a portion of the movable window treatment, wherein the slider includes a base and the at least one magnet is included on the base.

4. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the handle moves the slider with respect to the guide rail.

5. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 4 , wherein the (Original) handle moves the slider adjacent the movable window treatment.

6. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 4 , further comprising a shroud attached to the opening, wherein the handle of the slider extends through the opening and past the shroud, and wherein a portion of the shroud is displaced.

7. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 6 , wherein the shroud is selected from the group consisting of whiskers, woolpile, and at least one rubber strip.

8. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 4 , wherein the handle is not extended through the opening in the screen when at least a portion of the window and at least a portion of the movable window treatment are located spaced apart from the vehicle.

9. A window treatment adjustment assembly for use on a vehicle of a type having a window that includes a movable window treatment and a screen that covers at least a portion of the movable window treatment, the window treatment adjustment assembly comprising:

a slider located adjacent the movable window treatment; and

a handle that extends from the slider and selectively through an opening in the screen;

wherein the handle is not extended through the opening in the screen when at least a portion of the window is located spaced apart from the vehicle.

10. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 9 , wherein the slider includes at least one magnet that is in magnetic communication with a portion of the movable window treatment.

11. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a guide rail located adjacent the slider and the movable window treatment, and a guide on the slider, wherein the guide on the slider engages the guide rail so the slider is movable with respect to the guide rail.

12. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 11 , wherein the handle moves the slider with respect to the guide rail.

13. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 12 , wherein the handle is also not extended through the opening in the screen when the at least the portion of the movable window treatment is located spaced apart from the vehicle.

14. A window treatment adjustment assembly for use on a vehicle of a type having a window that includes a movable window treatment and a screen that covers at least a portion of the movable window treatment, the window treatment adjustment assembly comprising:

a slider configured to be located adjacent the movable window treatment; and

a longitudinally extending rod that extends from the slider and selectively through an opening in the screen;

wherein the longitudinally extending rod is operable within the vehicle to move the movable window treatment.

15. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 14 , wherein the longitudinally extending rod is not extended through the opening in the screen when at least a portion of the window is spaced apart from the vehicle.

16. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 14 , further comprising a shroud attached to the opening, wherein the longitudinally extending rod is extended through the opening and past the shroud, and wherein a portion of the shroud is displaced.

17. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 16 , wherein the shroud is selected from the group consisting of whiskers, woolpile, and rubber strips.

18. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 14 , wherein the slider includes at least one magnet that is in magnetic communication with a portion of the movable window treatment.

19. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 18 , further comprising a guide rail located adjacent the slider and the movable window treatment, a guide on the slider, wherein the guide on the slider engages the guide rail so the slider is movable with respect to the guide rail.

20. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 19 , wherein the longitudinally extending rod moves the slider with respect to the guide rail.
