  • Publication number: 20240025241
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a body that has a doorway. A side door is moveably held on the doorway and displaceable between a closed position and an open position. The side door has an inner door part, a reinforcement element, and a planking element. The reinforcement element has an upper deformation region and a lower deformation region. An impact damper that is a foam part is disposed inside the side door between the reinforcement element and the inner door part. The impact damper extends over at least a partial length of the reinforcement element and substantially completely fills a cavity delimited between the reinforcement element and the inner door part.

  • Publication number: 20060123708
    Abstract: In an angular joint of a window frame of a motor vehicle door, the window frame is formed, at least in one region, from at least one continuously cast aluminum profile. The at least one continuously cast aluminum profile is joined to an angular profile, and it is intended to configure the angular joint simply, in an esthetically pleasing manner, and without disturbing seams. In such an angular joint, the at least one profile to be joined is the support for external paneling, and the external paneling extends in the longitudinal direction of the at least one profile at least into the far corner of the angular profile. The paneling, the profile and the support extending therefrom can be configured as a one-piece, integral part.
