Abstract: A system includes a fill station, a vehicle, and a controller. The fill station has a first conduit. The vehicle has a subsystem that includes a second conduit configured to couple with the first conduit to establish a fluid connection between the subsystem and the fill station. The controller is programmed to, in response to a predetermined condition of the subsystem while the first and second conduits are coupled, automatically pump fluid from the fill station into the subsystem via the fluid connection.

Abstract: A magnet fastener assembly includes a base, a magnet carrier held in the base and a magnet held in the magnet carrier. The base includes a one-piece body having an upstanding doghouse on a support. The support is made from a first material and the doghouse is made from a second material. The first material has more flexibility than the second material and the second material has a greater rigidity than the first material.

Abstract: A magnet fastener includes a base, a magnet carrier held in the base, a magnet held in the magnet carrier, a first pin receiver in the base, a second pin receiver in the magnet carrier and a pin received in the first pin receiver and the second pin receiver. A method of securing a headliner to a metal roof substrate is also provided.

Abstract: A deployable pet carrier assembly for a vehicle includes a sliding rail guide system configured to attach the pet carrier to a vehicle seat back and collapsible front, rear, and side walls defining a box structure when deployed. An actuator is provided, configured to retain or release the pet carrier walls for transitioning the pet carrier between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. The sliding guide rail system includes front and rear guide rails configured to slidingly hold the pet carrier front wall and rear wall. A tray may be included to define a floor of the pet carrier.

Abstract: A vehicle wiring harness retainer assembly and a method of securing a vehicle wiring harness are provided. The vehicle wiring harness retainer assembly may include a fastener head, a first strap, and a second strap. The fastener head may have a first opening and a second opening. The first strap may extend away from the first opening in a first direction. The second strap may extend away from the second opening in a second direction.
