A window regulator employs a drive cable to regulate opening and closing of a window in a vehicle. The drive cable is attached to a glider which is attached to the window, and extends around a first and second guide means and a drive drum. Rotation of the drive drum causes movement of the cable which in turn causes movement of the window. One of the guide means is slidably mounted and coupled to a spring which causes the guide means to apply tension to the drive cable. The spring is positioned along substantially the same axis along which the slidably mounted guide means may travel.

A window regulator assembly comprising, in combination: a first glider attached to a windowpane and slidably mounted to an elongated first track; a cable attached to said first glider; a first cable guide means attached to a first position on said first track; a second cable guide means slidably coupled to a second position on said first track, said cable traveling along a first axis between said first cable guide means and said second cable guide means to move said glider along said first track, said second cable guide means having a centerline of travel in a direction along said first track; rotatable cable drive means for moving said cable along said first axis upon rotation of said cable drive means; and a first spring positioned substantially along said centerline of travel and coupled at a first position on said first spring to said second cable guide, and at a second position on said first spring to said first track, said first spring exerting a force on said second cable guide means substantially along said centerline of travel to force said second cable guide means in a direction along said first track, away from said first cable guide means.
