A door module for a motor vehicle door includes a support panel with a window lifter cable drive mounted or mountable thereon and coupled to a cable drum for a pull cable connected or connectable to a pane carrier. A first housing part receives the cable drum and includes through-openings for screw elements. A second housing part paired with the cable drive has screw bosses corresponding to the through-openings. The first housing part is on a first panel side and the second housing part is on an opposite second panel side. Each screw element has a screw head with a first tool receptacle and a threaded shaft with a shaft tip and a second tool receptacle on or in the shaft tip, so that each screw element can be actuated on the second panel side to uninstall the second housing part screwed with the first housing part.

A profile rail for a door guide of a vehicle, comprises a first profile rail piece with a first end face and with a second end face, and a connecting piece. The connecting piece comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of the connecting piece comprises a first end-face connection region for connecting to the first profile rail piece. The connecting piece is designed as a separate profile rail piece. The connecting piece can be connected via the first end-face connection region to at least one end face of the first profile rail piece by means of a plug-in system. The first end-face connection region is arranged in a first connection plane which has a first angle to a first plane normal to an extension of the connecting piece.

A drive unit for driving a panel-lift door. The drive unit includes a motor unit (that lifts the door), and a housing (including a movable portion) carrying one or more key components. The housing is reconfigurable in situ from an operative configuration (in which the movable portion is in an operative position and the housing shields, the motor unit and the one or more key components carried by the movable portion, from the view of an operator) and a service configuration in which the movable portion is in a service position and the motor unit and/or a key component is removable.

Gate hinges include an anchor shaft defining a shaft axis that extends between a first end and a second end. A first support arm is arranged at a position closer to the first end than the second end and extends in a direction normal to the shaft axis from the anchor shaft and a second support arm is arranged at the same axial position as the first support arm along the anchor shaft and extends in a direction opposite the first support arm. The anchor shaft includes a first thread and a second, self-tapping thread. The first thread is arranged along the anchor shaft for an axial length between the first and second support arms and the second thread and the second thread extends axially from the first thread to a tip of the anchor shaft at the second end.

A hinge assembly configured to couple either a motorized tailgate or a non-motorized tailgate to a side wall of a bed of a vehicle. The hinge assembly includes a hinge bracket configured to be fixed to the side wall, and an elongated hinge key having a proximate end attached to the hinge bracket and a distal end including a keyed surface, wherein the elongated hinge key is configured to be fixed to a first cup that is configured to be attached to the motorized tailgate and configured to be received within a second cup that is configured to be attached to the non-motorized tailgate such that the second cup can rotate about the elongated hinge key.

A hinge of the type including two coaxial, overlapping constitutive wings, each of the constitutive wings being constituted by a body having an ogive profile in which a cavity is internally obtained, wherein one of the constitutive wings carries a pin of smaller diameter in a stable engagement inside the cavity, surrounded by a spring, the pivot and the spring being suitable for engagement with the cavity of the other constituent wing, the coaxial constituent wings having on the base surface of the internal cavity a tangential groove for housing the terminal appendage of the spring.

A drive for adjusting an adjustment element of a motor vehicle, the drive including a hollow cylinder, a rod guided axially therein, two articulated parts configured to provide linear drive movements to the motor vehicle and form a drive connection to the adjustment element and the rest of the motor vehicle. The one articulated part axially fixed to a first component of the components of the drive unit and the other articulated part axially fixed to a second component of the components of the drive unit in the installed state. The drive has a drive spring assembly including a drive spring acting on the articulated parts. In the installed state, at least one of the components of the drive unit is axially fixed to a securing element by a threaded connection, and the securing element projects radially into an axial projection of a spring material of the drive spring assembly.

A window actuator linkage assembly that includes barrel brackets, a mounting bracket, and a clamping plate for fastening to a moveable portion of a window that facilitates adjustment of the alignment of a chain extending from an actuator positioned on or within a fixed portion of a window to the window actuator linkage assembly. A window actuator linkage assembly can also include elements such as barrel brackets that have openings to receive a fastener, a T-shaped base, and a slotted base bracket having an inner surface that slidably engages with the T-shaped base, and is configured to fix the T-shaped base in a desired position along the length of the slotted base bracket.
