An electric door driving mechanism includes a base mount having an accommodation groove, a sliding groove below the accommodation groove and a bottom opening communicated with the sliding groove, a slide slidably moveable in the sliding groove, a door panel mounting member moveable along with the slide, a linear motor having a stator disposed in the accommodation groove, and a mover fixed on the slide and drivenable by the stator to move, and front and rear water-resistant pieces fixed to the base mount and partially abutted with each other to close the bottom opening while a body portion of the door panel mounting member passes between the front and rear water-resistant pieces and has front and rear sides abutted against the front and rear water-resistant pieces, respectively, thereby preventing foreign objects and liquid from entering the inside of the electric driving mechanism via the bottom opening.

A gate apparatus comprising a mounting structure and at least one hinge. The hinge has a first pivoting part, a second pivoting part, and a spring element, the first pivoting part being attachable to the mounting structure. A swingable structure is attachable to the second pivoting part of the hinge. The first and second pivoting parts define an internal space in which the spring is received so as to be entirely enclosed, the internal space being formed by opposed recesses defined in the pivoting parts. In addition, the internal space is configured to allow the spring element to be seated in the internal space in a selected one of a first orientation and a second orientation allowing the first pivoting part and the second pivoting part of the at least one hinge to be aligned or perpendicular when the swingable structure is in a closed position.

A canopy running channel, a sunroof assembly, and a vehicle are provided. The canopy running channel includes a hollow tube and an end member. The hollow tube includes an outer tube and an inner tube. The end member includes a first end-member and a second end-member. Both one end of the outer tube and one end of the inner tube are connected to the first end-member, and the other end of the inner tube is connected to the second end-member. The end member is configured to be mounted on sunroof glass, the end member includes an upper member configured to be away from the sunroof glass and a lower member configured to be close to the sunroof glass. The upper member defines a fitting hole in communication with the hollow tube, and the lower member has an extension portion configured to be mounted on the sunroof glass.

Methods and apparatus for sliding panel door seal adjustment and calibration are disclosed. An example apparatus includes: a first plate including a slot through which a first threaded fastener is to connect to a door panel; a second plate to be between the first plate and a head of the first threaded fastener when the first threaded fastener is connected to the door panel; and a second threaded fastener to couple the first and second plates so that rotation of the second threaded fastener results in movement of the second plate and the connected door panel relative to the first plate.

A device for a frameless vehicle door includes a counter bearing, a guide rail mounted thereon for a window regulator, and an adjusting device for inclining the guide rail along an adjusting direction oriented obliquely to the counter bearing. The adjusting device can be actuated by a tool. An access direction of the tool is oriented obliquely to the adjusting direction. The adjusting device has at least two adjusting components that can be moved relative to one another, namely, a threaded bolt oriented along the adjusting direction and at least one threaded nut screwed thereon. One of the adjusting components is fixed to the guide rail or the counter bearing for conjoint rotation, and the other is rotatably mounted. The rotatably mounted adjusting component has a drive contour and can be driven by to axially adjust the adjusting components with respect to one another along the adjusting direction.

An embodiment swing door mounting structure for a vehicle includes a roof side reinforcement member coupled to an inner side of a cross section of a roof side of a side structure in a vehicle body front and rear direction and a door mounting member coupled to the roof side reinforcement member to define an open cross section for mounting a swing door on the roof side.
