Abstract: A motor vehicle door including an outer panel and an inner shell panel that are interconnected at the lower ends thereof by a door sill plate that extends transversely in relation to the two panels. The door sill plate is reinforced with a reinforcing element that is fixed to the plate and that extends along most of the length and width thereof.

Abstract: A connection between an upper center pillar reinforcement and a roof cross-member allows providing a body with a high degree of mechanical resistance, in particular with respect to lateral impacts to a vehicle. The connection makes use primarily of a window post liner situated behind the upper center pillar reinforcement. The liner includes a tab intended to overlap the reinforcement in a connecting area and where it is covered by the end of the roof cross-member. A first series of weld points between the roof cross-member and the window post liner provides the connection between these two parts, while a second series of weld points provides the connection between the upper center pillar reinforcement and the window post liner, which is made of a different material from that forming the two other parts, to produce high-efficiency weld points.
