There are provided a hinge pillar having a closed-cross section extending in a vehicle vertical direction, a side door body comprising a door outer and a door inner, a door trim provided to cover the door inner from a cabin inside, and a stay damper arranged between the door inner and the door trim such that the stay damper extends rearwardly from a front end thereof which is attached to the hinge pillar and to a rear end thereof which is attached to the door inner.

In a vehicular door outer handle device, when a handle base, to which a handle lever that is interlocked with and connected to a connecting arm portion of an outer handle is assembled, is assembled to a vehicle door, insertion of the handle lever into an opening of the vehicle door is allowed when the handle lever is in an operating position. In the vehicle door outer handle device, a state of holding the handle lever in the operating position is reliably maintained so that the handle lever is placed in the operating position. A return spring 35, that causes a first engaging portion 35b to be in contact with and engaged with a handle lever 36, is attached to the handle lever 36 so as to be able to switch between a state in which when a handle base 25 is assembled to the vehicle door, in a temporary holding state in which a connecting arm portion 16 is placed in a door opening operation position, a second engaging portion 35c is not engaged with the handle base 25, and a state in which after assembly of the handle base 25 to the vehicle door is completed, the second engaging portion 35c is in contact with and engaged with the handle base 25.

Provided is an automobile door (600) including: a first impact absorbing member (122) that traverses the automobile door (600) so as to extend between both end portion regions in a vehicle height direction; a second impact absorbing member (124) that traverses the automobile door (600) so as to extend between both end portion regions in a vehicle length direction; an exterior material (110); and a belt line reinforcement (300), in which bending rigidity in a vehicle width direction of a cross section perpendicular to an extending direction of the belt line reinforcement (300) at a support portion is larger than bending rigidity in the vehicle width direction of a cross section perpendicular to an extending direction of the first impact absorbing member (122) at an intersection portion.

There are provided a hinge pillar having a closed-cross section extending in a vehicle vertical direction, a side door body comprising a door outer and a door inner, a door trim provided to cover the door inner from a cabin inside, and a stay damper arranged between the door inner and the door trim such that the stay damper extends rearwardly from a front end thereof which is attached to the hinge pillar and to a rear end thereof which is attached to the door inner.

A latch structure includes: a door that is changeable between a closed state in which the door covers a door opening provided on a peripheral wall of a vehicle and an opened state in which the door opens the door opening; a floor panel that constitutes a floor surface of an interior space; a door-side engaging portion mounted on the door; and a floor-side engaging portion mounted on the floor panel and engageable with the door-side engaging portion when the door is in the closed state.

A side door assembly is provided for an automotive vehicle body having a side opening. The side door assembly includes an upper door half incorporating a unique outer panel coupled to or integrally formed with a structural portion. Soft goods are operably coupled to the structural portion of the upper door half. The side door assembly includes a one-piece casting for hinged connection to the vehicle body. The casting forms a frame. At least one panel insert is selectively connected from the interior of the vehicle outward by a plurality of rotary attachment features to the frame. The frame includes a plurality of reinforcement features to add structure and rigidity, while reducing weight, to the side door assembly.
