  • Vehicle door hardware
    Patent number: 5924245
    Abstract: An apparatus for installing a window, a window drive mechanism, and a latch carrier mechanism within a vehicle door includes a one-piece cable regulator having a molded passage thereabout for guiding at least one length of cable between the window and the window drive mechanism, a molded vertical passage for guiding motion of the window, a molded cantilever beam for contacting and gradually reducing the downward motion of the window near a window stop position and a molded guide for slideable cooperation with the door latch carrier, whereby the door latch carrier, once slideably secured within the guide, may be shifted over the cable regulator to a compact shipping and installation position, and then may be shifted outward from the cable regulator to a final assembly position within the door.

  • Vehicle door with structural plastic inner panel
    Patent number: 5762394
    Abstract: A vehicle door assembly according to the invention includes a structural framework, including a rear end for mounting a latch, a front end for mounting a hinge and a beam portion extending between the front and rear ends. An outer door panel is provided for mounting on the structural framework to provide the outer surface of the door assembly. A structural inner panel is provided for mounting on the structural framework and is of molded plastic and has a generally planar trim wall facing toward the occupant compartment and edge wall portions which extend transverse to the planar trim wall to thereby envelope the structural framework within the structural inner panel.
