Abstract: For fixing a rear covering part on a side part with a zero gap, a guide rail is provided in the side part and is locked in place in channel-type supports, into which guide rail the rear covering part is slid. The guide rail is durably held in a precise position with respect to the side part.

Abstract: A holding device for a spare wheel of a motor vehicle which is disposed on the outside of a swivellable rear hatch. The holding device includes a wheel carrier which is held by support arms and bearings on the vehicle body so as to swivel. The support arms are spaced apart and project from the wheel carrier and end sides thereof are connected to the bearings which are held on the vehicle body. These bearings form a vertical swivel axis which is arranged independently of a swivel axis of the rear hatch. The wheel carrier is capable of being swung about this vertical swivel axis up to the rear hatch and into a fixing position. In a release position, the holding device is capable of being swung away freely in relation to the rear hatch about the vertical swivel axis.

Abstract: A reinforcement, which is arranged in the side member of a vehicle body and comprises a reinforcing tube, is connected by way of fastening consoles with the vehicle body or with the columns of the vehicle body. So that tolerances of the reinforcing tube can be compensated and the center vehicle column is not deformed, compensating elements are connected between the center fastening console and the reinforcing tube, to which the fastening console can be fastened while tolerances are compensated and can be connected with the B-column.

Abstract: A receiving device for receiving a pneumatic spring arrangement includes a container, a bearing support, a stationary supporting frame, and an end connection plate. The pneumatic spring arrangement has pneumatic springs, each of which is connected to a swivellable hinged lever in a body structure of a motor vehicle. The container is embedded in the body structure of the vehicle, and the pneumatic springs and the hinged levers connected to the pneumatic springs are disposed in the container. The bearing support is swivellably attached to the hinged levers. The stationary supporting frame is disposed in the container, and the bearing support is connected to the stationary supporting frame. The end connection plate is adapted to and fastened to the body structure, wherein the end connection plate is connected to a top side of the container.
