An automobile body and a method for manufacturing the same is provided in which a substantially rectangular windshield joining face is formed by a front roof arch, a front portion of roof side rails and a dash panel upper of a lower skeleton. Since the upper skeleton and the lower skeleton can be separated, there is the problem that a gap occurs between lower ends of the roof side rails of the upper skeleton and the vehicle width direction outer ends of the dash panel upper of the lower skeleton, and the windshield joining face is discontinuous. Extension parts are provided inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower ends of the roof side rails, and the vehicle width direction inner ends of the extension parts are connected to the vehicle width direction outer ends of the dash panel upper, thereby eliminating discontinuity of the windshield joining face.

The disclosure relates to a vehicle body element connecting joint for connecting a first body element to a second body element, which connecting joint comprises first and second elongate profiles arranged along adjacent edges of the first and second body elements, respectively. The connecting joint comprises a first projection protruding from the first elongate profile parallel to a side surface of the first elongate profile and extending towards a free end of the first elongate profile, a first recess arranged in a side surface of the second elongate profile and arranged parallel to an edge of the second elongate profile, wherein the first projection is inserted into the first recess. A first and second dovetail section protrude from the first and second elongate profile, respectively At least one fastening strip contacts the first and second dovetail sections to clamp the first and second elongate profiles to each other.

The invention relates to a robot for tightening bolt nuts on a vehicle chassis, the robot comprising a polyarticulated arm at the end of which is a nut tightening tool. A sleeve-shaped centering member is fixed around the nut tightening tool and comprises a frustoconical surface which makes it possible, on contact with a nut, to reposition the nut tightening tool automatically in the axis of the nut.

A front end module assembly has a front end module structure of a vehicle, a heat exchanger support and a first heat exchanger unit. The heat exchanger support is supported to the vehicle front end module structure. The heat exchanger support has an opening. The first heat exchanger unit is accommodated in the opening of the heat exchanger support so that the transmission cooler is supported to the vehicle front end module structure via the heat exchanger support.

A vehicle having a support structure includes a front structural section for receiving a front axle assembly and a rear structural section opposite the front structural section in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A support part is arranged between the front structural section and the rear structural section as part of the support structure. The support part has a support wall which runs in a self-contained manner in the circumferential direction transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

A cowl top structure is provided along a lower edge of a front glass in a vehicle width direction. The cowl top structure includes a raised section, a fragile section and a drainage passage. The raised section is formed on a left end portion of a cowl top. The fragile section is formed on the raised section. The drainage passage is provided in a surrounding of the raised section and formed to drain water to an outer side of a vehicle body.
