Abstract: An automobile door comprises an outer module having a car body shell and forms an outer design surface of said automobile door, in addition to a unit carrier that is arranged on the side of the outer module facing the interior of the motor vehicle and that is connected to said outer module forming an interface. A sealing extends along the interface between the unit carrier and the outer module, said sealing covering the interface at least partly.

Abstract: A car door comprises an outer part 1 and an inner part 3 which are coupled together by a fixing screw 21 and retainer 23. A sealing strip 7 is fitted over a terminal portion 15 of the inner door part 3 by means of adhesive tape 17. The fixing screw 21 is fitted by distorting or compressing the tubular portion 9 of the seal which brings aperture 31 into alignment with the aperture 22 through which the screw 21 is to pass. When the screw 21 has been fitted into the aperture 22, the tubular part 9 of the seal 7 is released and resiles. The fixing screw 21 serves to provide an additional means for locating the seal 7 and secures the inner door part 3 to the outer door part 1. A concealing lip 25 extending integrally from the tubular part 9 of the seal 7 conceals from view the point where the outer door part 1 and the inner door part 3 are joined together to improve the visual appearance of the door and to reduce or prevent dirt or moisture entering the space between the outer and inner door parts 1 and 3.

Abstract: An armrest subassembly for a motor vehicle is provided, which includes an arm support adjustable along a vertical vehicle axis, and a guide device through which the arm support is guided. According to one embodiment of the invention, the guide device has just one guide element which entends longitudinally along the adjustment direction with which the arm support is guided in the adjustment direction so that forces acting on the arm support in the vehicle longitudinal direction are introduced through the guide element into the supporting door element and movement of the arm support in the vehicle longitudinal direction is substantially prevented.

Abstract: The invention relates to an armrest subassembly for the door of a motor vehicle, which can be mounted in a motor vehicle having a longitudinal vehicle axis and a vertical vehicle axis. The inventive armrest subassembly comprises an arm support whose height can be adjusted along the vertical axis of the motor vehicle and a guide device enabling the support to be guided along the vertical axis. The guide device is provided with an elongate guide element (1a, 43) along the direction of adjustment (z) of the arm support (2), said guide element enabling the arm support (2) to be guided in such a way that the forces exerted upon the arm support (2) are transmitted by the elongate guide element (1a, 3) into a bearing door element (5,50) and the arm support (2) is prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction (x) of the motor vehicle.
