Abstract: Top side view windows are canted between a vehicle cabin roof and sides along a length of the vehicle, truncating a corner between the roof and sides. The top side view windows may open outwardly from an interior of the cabin, and may open outwardly and upwardly similar to a safari windshield. Hinges and a latch allow movement of the top side view windows, with the latch securing the respective window in an open or closed position. The latch may include a strap with a flexible end wrapping around interior trim, optionally with a magnet at the tip to hold the flexible end in position when wrapped. A rigid portion of the strap holds the window when in the open position, and may include openings receiving protrusions from the interior trim or teeth engaging with a tip of a rachet cam.

Abstract: A flush mounted door handle lever is at least partly received in a recess of a housing secured to a door panel using a reinforcement panel bonded to the door panel, with the recess aligned with holes through the door panel and reinforcement panel. Locator pins on the reinforcement panel register the hole therethrough with the hole through the door panel. Clips on the reinforcement panel enable quick mounting of the housing and door handle lever. The recess leaves an opening at one end of the door handle lever for insertion of at least one finger. A sensor detecting an outward pull on that end of the door handle lever may also function as a bump sensor, with either movement selectively triggering an electromechanical door actuation. Symmetrical housings and reinforcement panels allow mounting of the door handle with either orientation, as on adjacent “suicide” doors.
