Abstract: Vehicles, load floor latch assemblies, and latches are provided for selectively securing and accessing a compartment in a vehicle. The load floor latch assembly includes a load floor having an upper surface and a lower surface. The load floor is positionable at a lowered position. The load floor latch assembly further includes a latch rotatable about a pivot axis to a closed configuration for securing the load floor at the lowered position. The latch includes a lower support arm and an upper clamp arm. In the closed configuration the lower support arm supports the lower surface of the load floor and at least a portion of the weight of the load floor is exerted on the lower support arm and applies a torque on the latch to impart a downward force from the upper clamp arm.

Abstract: A bracket support structure includes a first module. The first module includes an inner platform, a vehicle body insertion end extending inwardly from the inner platform, and first and second end clip portions extending outwardly from the inner platform from opposite lateral ends of the inner platform. The first and second end clip portions each include a clip fastener positioned at an outward end of the first and second end clip portions. The bracket support structure further includes a second module. The second module includes an outer platform that includes a plurality of differently sized and shaped holes for receiving a plurality of different fasteners, and first and second clip ends extending inwardly from the outer platform and configured for inserting into a respective clip fastener of the first and second end clip portions of the first module. Each of the clip ends further includes a clip fastener.
