Abstract: A bracket for a vehicle includes a first surface that defines support ribs and a second surface. A cantilevered end defines an attachment aperture. A retention feature is coupled to an upper edge of the cantilevered end and defines a retention notch. A central portion defines an arcuate notch and a fastening aperture. An attachment end includes a coupling feature that extends outwardly from the first surface.

Abstract: A vehicle bracket assembly includes first and second platforms each including a body and connectors that extend from each of the bodies. A central base is disposed between the first and second platforms and are coupled to the first and second platforms via the connectors. First and second connecting legs are coupled to the body of each of the first and second platforms, respectively. A first attachment base is coupled to the first platform via the first connecting legs. A second attachment base includes a locating tab. The second attachment base is coupled to the second platform via the second connecting legs.

Abstract: A laminated windshield includes an outer glass layer, an inner glass layer and an intermediate plastic layer or interlayer that prevents the windshield from shattering. The laminated windshield also includes a channel or break line engineered to break outward toward the outer glass layer thereby providing an emergency escape path from the interior of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A liftgate assembly for a vehicle includes an outer panel and an inner panel. The outer panel is adapted for mounting to a rear portion of a vehicle and includes first and second lower corner regions. The inner panel is mounted to the outer panel such that the outer panel and inner panel define an opening for a rear window. The inner panel includes a first reinforcement rib diagonally extending from the first lower corner region to a Z/Y center adjacent the opening and a second reinforcement rib extending from the second lower corner region to the Z/Y center. The reinforcement ribs are arranged with the outer panel to define an A-shape or inverted V-shape.
