a recess in the motor casing 2 and is screwed into an inner thread of the stud 35 the plastic screw 4 is tightened up so firmly that the support plate 1 is clamped between the motor casing 2 and the cable outlet housing 3 a very large tightening moment can be achieved by the plastic screw 4 so that where the head of the screw 4 adjoins the motor casing 2 a correspondingly large flat surface pressure is produced the support plate 1 can be a door panel through which the wet cell of the vehicle door is separated from the dry cell of the vehicle in this case the motor casing 2 is as a rule mounted in the dry cell whilst the cable outlet housing 3 and the additional structural elements of the cable window lifter are located in the wet cell of the vehicle door if the drive motor of the window lifter has a defect it is very simple to remove the driver motor from the support plate 1 by loosening the plastic screw 4 and removing the motor casing 2 from the support plate 1 the window lifter motor can then be repaired or replaced by a new motor the connection between.
