Abstract: A radar bracket mechanism arranged to accommodate a radar device behind a bumper skin of a vehicle. The radar bracket mechanism comprises a bracket arranged to accommodate the radar device, which bracket is flexibly mounted behind the bumper skin to allow the bumper skin to flex from a first position to a second position towards a body of the vehicle upon the bumper skin being subjected to a force exerting on an exterior of the bumper skin, and to allow the bumper skin to flex back to the first position when the exterior of the bumper skin no longer is being subjected to said force.

Abstract: A headliner for use in a vehicle having a roof, the headliner including a sheet and a plurality of first snap portions adapted to couple with a plurality of corresponding second snap portions fixed to the vehicle roof to mount the sheet to an interior side the vehicle roof through the interaction of the plurality of first snap portions and the corresponding second snap portions. A method for installing a headliner on a vehicle roof structure includes providing a headliner comprising a sheet having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of first snap portions fixed to the sheet, and joining the plurality of first snap portions to a plurality of second snap portions fixed to the roof structure, the plurality of second snap portions adapted to couple with the plurality of first snap portions to mount the sheet to the interior side the vehicle roof structure.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a lateral push element adapted to be arranged inside a hollow beam structure disposed on a lateral side of a vehicle. The lateral push element is configured to provide a lateral load path in the event of a partial overlap collision involving the vehicle. Some hollow beam structures on the lateral sides of the vehicle are often heavily deformed when the incoming barrier hit the hollow beam structures. The hollow beam structures are not in themselves able to transfer a lateral force. The space inside the hollow beam structures may thus be utilized for enabling additional lateral forces in the event of a partial overlap collision. The present disclosure provides a lateral push element adapted to be arranged inside the hollow beam structure disposed on a lateral side of a vehicle, and that is configured to provide a lateral load path in the event of a partial overlap collision involving the vehicle.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle body rear structure including: a rear roof rail extending in a vehicle width direction and being attached with a retractor for a seat belt; a bracket which is connected to the rear roof rail, so that the retractor is arranged between the bracket and the rear roof rail, and defines an opening portion at an end portion in the vehicle width direction thereof with the rear roof rail; and an extension which connects an end portion in the vehicle width direction of at least one of a top surface and a rear surface of the bracket to a front wall of the rear roof rail. The rear roof rail includes a protruding portion which protrudes frontward to have the retractor arranged therein, and the front wall extending in a vertical direction at a front side of a vehicle body.

Abstract: A vehicle component mounting unit for mounting a component assembly to a frame with a closed cross-section including a mounting plate formed with at least one bolt engagement hole and conjoined to the frame, and a weld nut formed with a nut hole connected to the bolt engagement hole, welded to the mounting plate, and fitted to a mounting hole formed in the frame.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle interior having opposed first and second sides and a support surface disposed therebetween. A track system is laterally disposed on the support surface. A seat pedestal includes a base portion supported on the track system for lateral movement within the vehicle interior. The seat pedestal further includes a seat portion rotatably supported on the base portion. A first interior trim member includes an outer surface facing inwardly into the vehicle interior in a lateral direction. The first interior trim member includes a seatback integrated into the outer surface thereof. A second interior trim member includes an outer surface facing inwardly into the vehicle interior in a rearward direction. The second interior trim member includes a seatback integrated into the outer surface thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle lower-part structure including a pair of center side members arranged under a floor of a vehicle; a first cross member and a second cross member connecting the pair of center side members; a main battery arranged in an underfloor space; one or more support plates arranged at a corner of the underfloor space; and a water tank placed on the support plate, in which the support plate is connected to both the center side member and the first or second cross member and connects the two.

Abstract: There are provided first and second loop-shaped structure sections which are respectively provided to extend continuously along a lower wall part, right-and-left both side wall parts, and an upper wall part of a vehicle body so as to have a loop shape in a vehicle elevational view. The first loop-shaped structure section is positioned in front of a damper support section. A lower-side part of the second loop-shaped structure section which is located at a lower level than the damper support section is formed by a part of the first loop-shaped structure section and its upper-side part is positioned in back of the damper support section. Each of these loop-shaped structure sections is formed by a closed-cross section portion where a closed-cross section is partitioned by plural members and/or a thick plate portion having a thicker plate thickness than a vehicle-body panel.

Abstract: An upper body structure includes a pair of left and right roof side rails coupled to respective ends of a roof panel in a vehicle width direction and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and a roof reinforcement 30 configured to couple intermediate portions in the vehicle width direction of the pair of roof side rails. A vehicle-width-direction inner side end of each roof side rail has a concave-convex shape in a side view along the vehicle front-rear direction, a vehicle-width-direction outer side end of the roof reinforcement has a concave-convex shape in the side view, and the concave-convex shaped end of each roof side rail and the concave-convex shaped end of the roof reinforcement 30 intersect each other in the side view.

Abstract: A washer tank mounting structure includes a washer tank including a front mounting portion and a rear mounting portion, wherein the front mounting portion is mounted on a vehicle front-side end of a crash box, the crash box being arranged between a front side member and a bumper reinforcement, the vehicle front-side end of the crash box being a front end portion of the crash box in a front-rear direction of a vehicle, and the rear mounting portion includes a first rear mounting portion mounted on a vehicle rear-side end of the crash box, the vehicle rear-side end of the crash box being a rear end portion of the crash box in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A sliding-raisable roof of shallow construction of motor vehicles. The roof is rigid and is supported by a sliding roof case which is displaceable between at least two positions, one raised and one lowered normal position. Sliding blocks slidably disposed in guide rails form a displacement apparatus, one such apparatus being arranged on each side of the roof case. The roof top can be raised at its rear end into an exposed ventilating position by means of an exposure mechanism supported against rear sliding blocks. Two compression-resistant threaded cables and a single drive motor are used to drive the roof top and displace the sliding roof case. Each of the two threaded cables coact on one end with the displacement apparatus of the sliding roof case and on the other end with the roof top or its exposure mechanism. Free travel of one or the other end of the threaded cables is provided for alternatively driving the displacement apparatus of the sliding roof case and the exposure mechanism of the roof top.
