A method for mounting a carrier for a window-lifter mechanism in a shell of a vehicle door, the window lifter including at least one rail for guiding the window and the shell having an opening through which the carrier is introduced as well as, at its top, a well for the passage of the window; a) the rail is secured to its carrier with a mutual separation (d1) which is greater than the normal separation in the service position of the window lifter; b) the upper end of the rail is introduced into the shell; c) the upper end of the rail is made to enter the window well by raising the carrier and the window lifter; d) the lower end of the rail is passed over the lower rim of the opening; e) the carrier is pressed against a sealing border around the opening by lowering the assembly back down so that the lower end of the rail positions itself in the shell below the lower rim; f) and the rail is moved from its position of separation (d1) from the carrier into its normal service position (d2) by bringing it closer to the said carrier. This method makes it possible to produce a window lifter in which the guide rail or rails are longer than known rails, and this allows a corresponding increase in the travel of the window and makes it possible to use the volume inside the lower rim of the shell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a method of mounting a window-lifter mechanism and its carrier in a door which allows the total length of the rail or rails to be increased by extending the length of the rail or rails into the volume available inside the rim of the shell, i.
e.
below the lower edge of the opening through which the window-lifter mechanism is introduced.
In accordance with the method of the present invention; a) the rail of the window lifter is secured to its carrier with a mutual separation which is greater than the normal separation in the service position of the window lifter; b) the upper end of the rail is introduced into the shell; c) the upper end of the rail is made to enter the window well by raising the carrier and the window lifter; d) the lower end of the rail is passed over the lower rim of the opening in the shell; e) the carrier is pressed against a sealing border around the opening by lowering the assembly back down so that the lower end of the rail positions itself in the shell below the lower rim; f) and the rail is moved from its position of separation from the carrier into its normal service position by bringing it closer to the said carrier.
The separation maintained temporarily for mounting purposes between the rail and its carrier plate permits the introduction of the rail far enough inside the shell of the door for it to be placed below the window well.
By raising the assembly it is then possible to introduce the upper end of the rail into the window well and pass its lower end pass the rim of the opening in the shell, after which the assembly is lowered back down again to its normal position.
The rail is then returned to its final service position.
The method of the present invention provides a substantial increase in the length of the rail so that its lower end extends inside the lower rim of the shell, which makes it possible to produce a rail which uses practically the entire length available in the shell.
The vehicle door of the present invention includes a shell in an inner panel having an opening for the passage of a window-lifter mechanism having at least one rail, generally two, for guiding the window
