Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes a door structure having an inner panel and an outer panel defining an internal cavity that extends about a window surround above a vehicle waistline. The door assembly further defines mirror attachment holes and a plurality of collars affixed within the internal cavity. Each collar defines a bore in alignment with a mirror attachment hole of the door structure. The door assembly also includes a mirror assembly having a plurality of protruding fasteners attached to the door structure. The protruding fasteners compressively sandwich the collars within the internal cavity.

Abstract: An automotive side view mirror attachment assembly includes first and second loading surfaces for engaging a mounting member of a side view mirror assembly, wherein the first and second loading surfaces are disposed within an interior of a vehicle door, such that, in assembly, a mounting member of the mirror assembly is substantially or fully disposed within the interior of a vehicle door, thereby minimizing the overall mirror footprint by eliminating the need for an external base for attachment of a mirror assembly to a vehicle door.

Abstract: A seat support assembly for an automotive vehicle with a seat having integrated occupant restraints has forward and rearward transversely extending seat support members each having opposed ends with a seat attachment section and an attachment flange. A pair of seat reinforcement members are positioned adjacent and underside of the attachment section on each of the opposed ends of the forward and rearward seat support members, each of the pair seat support reinforcements members having a mating flange adapted for mating between the attachment flange and a portion of the vehicle floor pan. A floor pan reinforcement member is adapted for mating with an underside of the floor pan and has a support flange wrapping around an outer side adjacent the mating flange and the attachment flange.
