In a sunroof device, each support member and each driving shoe include a pressing portion and an elastic body, respectively, that, when the driving shoe moves from a first position toward a second position, come close to each other and, when the driving shoe is positioned between the second position and a third position, come into contact with each other. When the driving shoe is positioned between the second position and the third position, the pressing portion presses the elastic body in a direction perpendicular to a width direction. A length in the width direction of the elastic body is longer than the pressing portion.

A novel electric strut is disclosed, including an electric strut casing in which a supporting pipe casing is sleeved. A supporting pipe is installed in the supporting pipe casing, a screw rod has a front end connected with the rear end of the supporting pipe, a front end of the supporting pipe is connected with a ball-and-socket joint, a special-shaped conduit is sleeved outside the screw rod and located in the electric strut casing, a spring is sleeved on surfaces of the supporting pipe and the special-shaped conduit, an adjustable damper is mounted at a tail portion of the screw rod, a motor is mounted in the electric strut casing at a rear end of the screw rod and connected with the screw rod, a rear end of the electric strut casing is sealed through an integrated motor joint integrally fixed to a tail portion of the motor.

A spindle drive assembly for opening and/or closing a vehicle flap is described, having a spindle and a spindle drive motor coupled thereto by means of a two-stage epicyclic gearing. A ratio of a number of teeth of each planet gear of a first epicyclic gearing stage to a number of teeth of each planet gear of a second epicyclic gearing stage is selected such that, in operation, a first sound frequency that is emitted by the first epicyclic gearing stage differs by an integer multiple of a semitone from a second sound frequency that is emitted by the second epicyclic gearing stage. In addition, a vehicle flap with such a spindle drive assembly is presented.

Provided is a guide bumper for a tailgate, including a first guide member attached to one of a vehicle body and a tailgate, and a second guide member disposed on the opposite side of the first guide member, the first guide member including at least one outer body and at least one elastic core inserted into the outer body.

A door roller includes a carriage member comprising a plurality of bores, and a plurality of roller assemblies connected to the carriage member, each roller assembly of the plurality of roller assemblies including a pivot bearing rotatably disposed within a bore of the plurality of bores and a pair of rollers coupled to the pivot bearing. Each wheel assembly is configured to pivot relative to the carriage member.

Systems and methods for providing a door seal system for top-hanging sliding doors. In some implementations, two angled mating surfaces are used, one angled surface on a fixed frame and one reversed angled surface on the slideable door panel. The slideable door panel slides directly parallel to the fixed door frame. A mating seal surface is created that is only in frictional contact for a small portion of the linear slide distance of the door panel. In some implementations, rather than placing two opposing angled seal surfaces, the sealing system has one angled surface on the fixed door frame. In such implementations, the sliding door panel is adjusted to be in a reverse angled orientation relative to the angled surface of the fixed door frame. Seal designs for the rear vertical edge of the slideable door panel are also provided herein.

An electronics system for a vehicle including at least one acceleration sensor and an electronic control unit, which on the basis of at least one measurement signal of the acceleration sensor controls at least one drive device for the power-operated adjustment of an adjustment part of the vehicle.

An exemplary armature assembly is configured for use with a door control mounted to one of a door or a doorframe. The door control includes a rotatable pinion, and the armature assembly includes an armature, a shoe, and an elastic component. The armature has a first end and an opposite second end, and the first end includes an opening sized and shaped to receive the pinion at a first interface. The shoe is configured for mounting to the other of the door or the doorframe, and the second end of the armature is pivotally connected to the shoe at a second interface. In certain forms, the elastic component coupled with the armature and configured to absorb mechanical shocks at one of the first interface or the second interface. In certain forms, the elastic component is configured to absorb mechanical shocks along the length of the armature.

A furniture fitting for mounting, preferably movably, a first furniture part onto a second furniture part, includes a metal piece made from sheet metal, more particularly a connecting piece, having two faces spaced apart from one another by a material thickness of the sheet metal. The two faces have a regular arrangement of successive elevations and depressions, and one elevation on one of the two faces lies opposite a depression on the other of the two faces, and vice versa.

Systems and methods for adjusting one or more window of a vehicle cabin are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for adjusting one or more window of a vehicle cabin includes at least one noise sensor, a plurality of windows, and a controller. The at least one noise sensor is configured to detect wind noise at one or more location of the vehicle cabin. The plurality of windows are each adjustable between a plurality of configurations to permit differing levels of air flow between the vehicle cabin and an atmosphere outside of the vehicle cabin. The controller is programmed to cause an adjustment of at least one window of the plurality of windows based on feedback from the at least one noise sensor regarding a detected level of wind noise.
