Abstract: The invention relates to a wrap-over swinging-sliding door (2) which swings into a closure position at the end of its closure stroke. The door is guided relative to the vehicle bodywork by a bottom rail (4) which co-operates with wheels (3a) fixed to the panel and by at least one top rail (7a, 7b) which is situated at roof level and which co-operates with a horizontal wheel (6a, 6b) which is guided therein and which is capable of moving vertically when the bottom wheels engage a swing-imparting slope which lowers the door at the same time as it moves the door into the bodywork.

Abstract: The coupling between a driving element (belt 1a) and a driven element (arm 7) is provided by a finger (6) sliding in an oblong opening (5a, 5b) through a coupling part (2) in the driving element, said sliding taking place both along the long axis of the oblong opening and perpendicularly thereto, parallel to the long axis of the finger.
