A roller assembly for a hood actuation system includes a mounting block and a fastener having a shaft extending through the mounting block. The fastener is configured to couple the mounting block to an actuator of the hood actuation system. The roller assembly also includes at least one driving roller. The shaft of the fastener extends through an opening in the at least one driving roller to couple the at least one driving roller to the mounting block.

A window plate with vibration damping member includes a window plate to be mounted on a window frame and a vibration damping member for reducing vibration of the window plate. The vibration damping member includes a opposite plate that is provided at one or both surfaces of the window plate so as to be opposite the window plate, a viscoelastic layer provided between the window plate and the opposite plate, and a compression member provided on the surface of the window plate as viewed in a plate thickness direction to compress the viscoelastic layer in the plate thickness direction.

A trailer may include a tailgate stabilizing mechanism to reduce movement of the tailgate during transport in order to reduce wear and tear. A knob is mounted at or near an edge of the tailgate. A cup which may be mounted at or formed in a mating gusset, bracket, or flange, is sized and shaped fittingly to receive the knob. The mating gusset, bracket, or flange is mounted to the container and positioned to receive the knob in the cup when the tailgate is closed. A locking mechanism may be configured to press on the tailgate when closed so as to compress the knob in the cup to reduce further movement of the tailgate. The knob may be removable and replaceable, and thus may be replaced following wear and tear of the knob.
