  • Inner belt attached to door inner trim panel
    Patent number: 7536830
    Abstract: An inner belt is received on an associated vehicle flange. A U-shaped gripping portion of the inner belt is formed by first and second legs dimensioned for receipt on opposite faces of the flange. Rigid spaced hooks extend from a body of the inner belt and form upturned cavities that engage with similar hook portions formed on an associated inner trim panel. An end datum feature constrains longitudinal movement between the inner belt and the inner trim panel, while cooperating horizontal leg portions of both the inner belt and inner trim panel restrain the components from relative vertical movement.
