Abstract: A system for a multi-directional roof cover system includes a vehicle comprising an opening in the top of the vehicle and a cover movably coupled to selectively cover the opening. The cover has a first end proximate a first end of the vehicle, a second end proximate a second end of the vehicle, lateral edges connecting the first end and the second end, and linkages coupling the lateral edges to the vehicle. The cover is actuatable, based on one or more conditions, between a first position in which the cover is closed and covers the opening, a second position in which the cover is open and the first end of the cover is raised relative to the second end of the cover, and a third position in which the cover is open and the second end of the cover is raised relative to the first end of the cover.

Abstract: Loading floor arrangement for a load space of a motor vehicle with a loading floor mounted for movement between a rest position and an extended position, and with an adjustment device for displacement of the loading floor between the rest position and the extended position. The adjustment device has a guide rail arrangement fixed to the vehicle with a guide portion extending longitudinally in the load space, at least one lift guide portion extending in the load space height direction, and at least one guide body assigned to the loading floor and guided so as to be slidingly movable relative to the longitudinal guide portion and the lift guide portion. A control slide is mounted so as to be movable relative to the guide portion and is provided with a control curve which cooperates by forced guidance with the guide body such that the loading floor can be moved between the rest position and the extended position depending on a longitudinal displacement of the control slide.

Abstract: A sunshade for use in a vehicle is provided including a core having at least one opening extending there through. A layer of material is positioned adjacent at least a first surface of the core. The sunshade also includes a light generation system arranged to direct light through the at least one opening.

Abstract: A window drive mechanism is used to cover and uncover an opening formed in a first window panel. A second window panel is mounted for movement relative to the first window panel. The second window panel is moved by the window drive mechanism between an open position where the opening is uncovered and a closed position where the second window panel covers the opening. When the second window panel is in the closed position, the second window panel is flush with the first window panel. A guide member is mounted for movement with the second window panel and has a notch that defines a first path of movement where the second window panel is moved inwardly of the first window panel. When activated, the drive mechanism moves the second window panel inwardly to a non-flush position via the notch, and then moves the second window panel axially to uncover the opening.

Abstract: A recessed compression latch is provided. It has a housing with a recessed well and an aperture, a handle with a pivot end, a shaft pivotally attached to the pivot end of the handle, a shaft housing that fits into and is retained in the aperture in the housing, and a biasing device. The biasing device applies a biasing force that tends to move the shaft out of the shaft housing and biases the handle to an opened position, where the handle extends out of the recessed well, and a closed position, where the handle is folded down into the recessed well. When the handle is in its closed position, the shaft is drawn inwardly towards the housing, and when the handle is in its opened position, the handle will extend out of the recessed well and the shaft will be moved outwardly from the housing, and wherein the handle can only be moved to its closed position when the shaft is in a predetermined rotational alignment relative to the housing.

Abstract: A window regulator system for a vehicle door module includes at least one guide rib integrally formed with the vehicle door module. A slider is at least partially received on the guide rib.

Abstract: A window regulator includes a cursor mounted for movement along a window track, a motor mounted to the cursor to move a vehicle window between open and closed positions, and a cable in driving engagement with a motor output. The cursor comprises a single piece component that includes a window mount portion and a motor mount portion with the motor being rigidly fixed to the motor mount portion for movement with the cursor. The motor output cooperates with the cable to move the motor, the cursor and the vehicle window together as a unit along the window track.

Abstract: A carrier plate for a window regulator assembly includes a trim receiver that cooperates with a door trim connector to attach a piece of door trim directly to the carrier plate. The trim receiver and carrier plate are formed together as one-piece from a plastic material. The trim receiver includes an anti-rattle member that engages the door trim connector to reduce noise.

Abstract: A window regulator assembly includes a cursor that is guided by a window lift rail within a vehicle door module. The cursor includes structure for supporting a window panel, and is movable between a full up position and a full down position. The cursor includes a dampener that dampens impact as the cursor moves to the full down position by compressing a portion of the dampener against the window lift rail during impact.

Abstract: A door module assembly includes a carrier plate having a plurality of locating pins. An inner door panel includes a plurality of openings that cooperate with the plurality of locating pins to align the carrier plate relative to the inner door panel and to retain the carrier plate on the inner door panel without requiring fasteners. Each locating pin comprises a pin body with a slot that separates the pin body into first and second flexible lip portions. These first and second lip portions flex inwardly toward each other during insertion into the inner door panel, and flex outwardly away from each other after insertion through the inner door panel to retain the carrier plate on the inner door panel without requiring any additional fastening elements.

An inner door panel includes a plurality of openings that cooperate with the plurality of locating pins to align the door module panel relative to the inner door panel and to retain the door module panel on the inner door panel without requiring fasteners. Each locating pin includes a central body portion with first and second pin ends. The first pin end is snapped into an opening formed in the door module panel. The first pin end includes a plurality of resilient legs that provide positive location and positive retention during assembly of the locating pin onto the door module panel. The second pin end includes an undercut retention groove that provides a positive stop to prevent separation between the inner door panel and the door module panel.

Abstract: A door module assembly includes a door module panel having a plurality of locating pins. An inner door panel includes a plurality of openings that cooperate with the plurality of locating pins to align the door module panel relative to the inner door panel and to retain the door module panel on the inner door panel without requiring fasteners. The plurality of plurality of locating pins is orientated obliquely relative to the door module panel with each one of the plurality of locating pins being received within one of the openings, which extend obliquely relative to the inner door panel. At least one door module component, such as a window lift mechanism or door lock mechanism, for example, is mounted to the door module panel independently from the plurality of locating pins.
