A component for a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a housing comprising a tab and a cover coupled to the housing for movement between a closed position and an open position. The tab may exert a force against the cover when closed. The tab may be integrally formed with the housing. The tab may comprise a first portion coupled to the housing and a second portion comprising an arcuate protrusion to exert the force against the cover. The component may comprise a latch to secure the cover to the housing when closed. The tab may prevent latch disengagement. The tab may comprise a leaf spring. The component may comprise a biasing member coupled to the housing to exert a force against the cover through the tab when the cover is closed. The component may comprise a storage assembly, a sunglass bin or a console.

A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a driver seat. The vehicle body defines a driver compartment having a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. The driver seat is disposed within the driver compartment. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in a 95.sup.th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.

Lockbox systems for securing items in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a hollow rectangular body has an open side which may be closed by a door. One or more L shaped locking members are disposed on the rear of the door adjacent a first longitudinal side. As the door is closed, the members are positioned to reside in locking recesses in a wall of the body, abuttably locking the door at the hinged side. Near a second side of the door, a locking mechanism is disposed that can be actuated to move a locking bolt into a bolt recess to secure the door in the body opening. The rear side surfaces of the door may be beveled to pair against a ridge disposed inside the opening to deter attempts to pry the door open.

A shelving system includes side members that each define a first channel having a slide disposed therein. A cross member extends between and connects the slides. The cross member defines a second channel having a guide member disposed therein. The guide member defines a third channel and a flange. A container includes side walls having a rail. One of the rails is movably disposed in the third channel. The rails include a first locking element and a second locking element. The handle includes a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The handle is movable between a first position in which the second locking element engages the flange and the container is fixed relative to the guide member and a second position in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the flange and the container can translate relative to the guide member.

Disclosed is a mechanical holder for a mobile device on board a vehicle, including two jaws that are rotatably hinged about an axis and close on the mobile device, the closing movement of the two jaws being such that, regardless of the mobile device engageable with the mechanical holder, the position of the mobile device is identical. The two jaws each have a gear wheel secured thereto, wherein the gear wheel is mounted on an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the jaws and engages with the other wheel to form a gearing and to allow each jaw to rotate simultaneously and identically relative to the axes of rotation of the respective gear wheels thereof.
