Abstract: A vehicle windshield includes a glass sheet and an overlay extending around a periphery of the glass sheet. The overlay includes a plurality of optical windows defined therein. A seal extends along a path delineated by the plurality of optical windows. The optical windows are sized to allow light to pass through the overlay.

Abstract: A collapsible storage bin is provided for a motor vehicle. The collapsible storage bin includes a first sidewall that is displaceable between a collapsed position and an erected position. First and second self-erecting end walls are connected to the first sidewall. Further, an end wall locking handle is provided. That end wall locking handle is displaceable between a stowed position and an end wall locking position that functions to secure the storage bin in the erected position.

Abstract: A body for a vehicle, such as a pickup truck, has a passenger cabin including an exterior body panel with an air extractor aperture and an interior trim panel. The trim panel is a liner mounted to the body panel thereby defining a generally-planar laterally extending chamber between them. The trim panel, which may be made of a sound absorbing material, has an air passage fluidically coupling the chamber with the passenger cabin. The air passage is laterally separated from a footprint region of the trim panel which is aligned with the air extractor aperture. The footprint region has an undulating surface facing the air extractor aperture to attenuate noise that enters the chamber through the air extractor aperture. The undulating surface may have an egg crate shape.

Abstract: A floor mat system is provided in a vehicle having a driver seat and driver foot pedals. A floor surface extends in front of the seat and beneath the foot pedals. A removable floor mat is comprised of a flexible sheet having a bottom surface for contacting the floor surface, a top surface, a forward end for installation juxtaposed with the pedals and a rearward end for installation juxtaposed with the seat. At least one mechanical non-magnetic retainer is disposed proximate to the rearward end to hold the floor mat to the floor surface. At least one self-aligning magnetic retainer is disposed proximate to the forward end to hold the floor mat to the floor surface.
