A first wiper bearing is arranged on at least one of the longitudinal ends of first and second support arm.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door is configured to hingedly mount to the body of a motor vehicle. The door includes a door structure having a hinge reinforcement arranged on an interior side of the door structure. The hinge reinforcement includes a respective mounting flange section abutting the door structure on at least two opposing outer edges and a force absorption area between the at least two opposing mounting flange sections. The force absorption area is situated at a distance from the door structure to define a hollow space there between. The force absorption area is supported against the door structure by at least one bushing.

Abstract: A motor vehicle body includes a rear wheel housing with a wheel well that accommodates a rear wheel and a wall section upwardly projecting form the wheel well. A C-pillar inner wall is fastened to the wall section along a first fastening zone and overlaps an opening formed in the wall section between the first fastening zone and wheel well. A weld joins the C-pillar inner wall and a C-pillar outer wall together at the level of the opening.

Abstract: A floor module is provided for installation in the rear area of a motor vehicle. A rear area of the floor module facing the tail of the vehicle includes a first plastic composition, and a front area facing away from the tail includes a second plastic composition, wherein the first plastic composition imparts a higher elastic deformability to the rear area than to the front area.

Abstract: Three structural components meet at a structural node for a motor vehicle bodywork. The structural components are fitted together from at least one outer part and one an inner part in each case. A reinforcement part is arranged in a hollow space formed in one of the structural components and is fixed to the inner part of at least a first structural part and the outer part of at least a second structural part.

Abstract: A frame structure for a vehicle door and a method of manufacture thereof is disclosed. In particular, a tailgate includes at least two tubular parts which are flexurally deformed in the direction of their longitudinal extension and connected to each other to form a ring structure. The ring structure is incorporated into a structural unit with the frame structure in a tailgate of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A hood, for example a front hood, for a motor vehicle body is described. The hood includes an outer skin and a stiffening structure covered by the outer skin. The stiffening structure includes a nub plate with a substrate and nubs extending from the substrate under the outer skin made of plastic. A second plate is includes on which apexes of the nubs are fastened.

Abstract: A side member of a vehicle chassis structure is disclosed as having a front section, two rear sections running on the same side of the vehicle center, and a branching section that connects the front and rear sections. The branching section includes a y-shaped floor part and at least one side wall part, which extends along an edge of the floor part, and encompasses both a side wall attached to a rising flange of the floor part and a flange angled away from the side wall and attached to a base plate of the floor part.

Abstract: A floor structure of a motor vehicle body is disclosed which respect includes a side skirt profile extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (x) and a tunnel edge profile extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, The tunnel profile is spaced apart from the side skirt profile in the transverse direction of the vehicle (y). Two side skirt profiles run essentially parallel along the outsides of the floor structure. The tunnel edge profile extends in approximately a concentric manner to the side skirt profiles. A transmission hump is provided in the middle of the floor structure and typically extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is situated, fastened and/or reinforced thereon.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rear fender module for arrangement on a side panel of a motor vehicle body. The rear fender module includes a fender shell and at least one add-on part arranged thereon. The fender shell has at least two fastening sites for detachable fastening on the side panel.

Abstract: A rear-side reinforcement structure for a motor vehicle body includes at least one side member extending in vehicle longitudinal direction, a shock absorber reinforcement profile and an outer rear end reinforcement profile. The shock absorber reinforcement profile is connected to the side member with a lower front profile section located in travelling direction at the front. The shock absorber reinforcement profile is connected to the rear end reinforcement profile with a rear profile section that is spaced from the side member and facing a rear end of the body. The outer rear end reinforcement profile extends from the rear profile section of the shock absorber reinforcement profile to the side member and with a lower connection section is connected to the side member.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a front structure of a vehicle body having a wheel installation strut and a side member which flanks an interior defined by the front car. The side member has a convex surface, by means of which it is fastened to an end of the wheel installation strut in multiple points. At least one point is offset relative to the other points towards the interior. As a result, a front structure with good stiffness for improved occupant protection can be provided, which can also be assembled in a simple manner.
