Abstract: A handle assembly includes a pull handle that defines a pivot socket. A pivot bracket is rigidly mountable to a vehicle door outer panel and includes a pivot at least partially positioned within the pivot socket such that the pull handle is pivotable between a first position and a second position. The pivot is outside a vehicle door cavity, thereby eliminating the chassis preassembled inside the door cavity and eliminating gooseneck pivot attachments found in prior art pull-bar type handle assemblies.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a glass attachment and method of assembly for a movable vehicle window, particularly in a vehicle door. A pair of glass clips are attached to a window glass, and a pair of carriers are mounted and retained in a door by cable sets. A snap-in installation is performed by sliding camming guide shoulders on the carriers into channels formed by cam engagement flanges on the glass clips. As the camming action takes place, the carriers are lifted into use positions and catches on the glass clips engage catch openings on the carriers to secure the components together. Grooves in the carriers direct the cable sets, the ends of which are retained in the carriers by ferrules and cable take-up springs.
