Abstract: A door for a vehicle is assembled by joining three modules together to facilitate the assembly process. The three modules are an outer module including an outer panel, a window regulator module including a window pane and a window regulator, and an inner module including an interior member. The window regulator module is preliminarily assembled as an independent unit, so that it is easy to adjust the open and closed positions and the movement of the window pane. These modules are joined by fastening means extending along the direction of the thickness of the door, so that the assembly operation is made easier.

Abstract: An automotive door equipped with a window regulator is described. The door comprises an outer panel module, a pane lift module, a door lock module, a frame module to which the pane lift module and the door lock module are secured to constitute an interior unit, and an inner panel module. The inner panel module and the outer panel module are secured at their peripheral portions in a manner to sandwich therebetween the interior unit.

Abstract: A jacking point structure for an automotive vehicle, includes a bracket fixed to the underside of a trunk compartment at a rear portion of the vehicle, and a hook fixed to the bracket. The bracket has a first wall extending horizontally and a second wall extending vertically. Also, the bracket has a channel portion at its center which functions as a jacking point preferably at the rear end of the first wall. The hook extends horizontally in the backward direction of the vehicle and does not project downwardly. It is preferable that the hook is formed in a U-shape and welded at its legs to the first wall in such a manner that the channel portion of the bracket is held between the legs of the hook.

Abstract: A panel reinforcement structure construction for attaching to and reinforcing a vehicle structural panel. An elongate channel member has two side sections and is secured at the elongate open section thereof to the vehicle structural panel. An arm is attached to each channel member side section, and each arm extends from the end of the channel member transversely to the elongate axis of the channel member. An attachment flange is attached to each channel member arm in a manner to also attach to the vehicle structural panel to reinforce the structural integrity thereof and resist the effect of shear forces acting transversely on the elongate channel member.

Abstract: An automobile rear glass door has a substantially flat main body portion and is angled at each side thereof to have side portions which cooperate with adjacent outer surfaces of a vehicle body when the rear door is in the closed position to define the contour of the vehicle. A weatherstrip is disposed on the vehicle body outer surfaces so as to contact the main body portion of the door glass inboard of the transition portion between the door's side portions and the door's main body portion when the rear door is in the closed position, thereby providing a positive environmental seal therebetween and improving the fit between the rear door edge and the adjacent vehicle body section.
