Abstract: A system for unlocking a key cylinderless automobile vehicle door includes a portable object having an identifier and a circuit for interrogating the object. The circuit powers the object and interrogates the object when it is outside the vehicle. The interrogating circuit supplies a signal authorizing unlocking of the door as a function of the identifier. A standby power supply, which is separate from the main power supply of the vehicle, also powers the circuit and the object. As a result, the vehicle door does not require a key cylinder while still ensuring unlocking even if the main power supply of the vehicle fails.

The deformed portion is utilized to releaseably secure the window regulator drive system component to the subassembly via a fourth component.

Abstract: A vehicle door is assembled by immobilizing a cable drum with a wedge and then coupling the wedged drum to a drive member. A cable is wound onto the drum either before or after the positioning of the wedge. The A drive member is then coupled to the wedged drum. After coupling, the drive member is fixed to the vehicle door. The window guide structure can also be inserted between the inner panel and an outer panel of the vehicle door. The wedge can be removed from the window guide structure, or alternately, the wedge can be fixed to the window guide structure. Alternately, the method further includes the steps of placing the cable in deflection pulleys before the steps of positioning the wedge and winding the cable. The drive member is pivotally mounted to the inner panel about an axis offset relative to the rotational axis of the drum, and the cable is tensioned by pivoting the drive member about the offset axis. The drive member is then fixed to the inner panel of the vehicle door.

The second component is aligned relative to the third component, and the first component is situated between the second and third components and between the shoulder and the second component.

Abstract: An anti-side intrusion assembly for a vehicle door includes a reinforcing beam. Anchoring members secured to the reinforcing beam anchor the reinforcing beam to the vehicle frame or chassis. The reinforcing beam extends across the vehicle door and is anchored to the chassis at each end. One of the anchoring members a door hinge, and the other of the anchoring member is a lug generally perpendicular to the reinforcing beam. When the door is closed, the lug extends into a recess provided in a rigid portion of the door frame or chassis. Substantial bending of the reinforcing beam upon side impact on the door is prevented by bearing the lug on the rigid sidewall of the recess.
