Abstract
A door panel assembly includes a panel with a window lifting mechanism mounted on one side and a power mechanism mounted on an opposite side. The panel has a first alignment feature for aligning the window lifting mechanism relative to the panel and a second alignment feature for aligning the power mechanism relative to the panel. The first and second alignment features facilitate alignment of the window regulator and the power mechanism to each other. Further, the first and second alignment features allow initial assembly of one of the window regulator or power mechanism components to the panel with a subsequent assembly of the remaining component to the, panel without having to hold the first component in place.
