Disclosed is a speaker system including a first panel that is an outer plate of a vehicle door, a second panel disposed on a vehicle interior side of the vehicle door, a third panel disposed between the first panel and the second panel, a speaker unit that has a sound emitting surface for emitting a sound toward the vehicle interior and is mounted on the second panel or the third panel, a first coupling mechanism that couples a peripheral portion of the second panel to the third panel, and a second coupling mechanism disposed at a position nearer the center of the second panel than a position of the speaker unit in the plane of the second panel and configured to couple the second panel and the third panel in the plane at a position not overlapping with the speaker unit.

A deformable tapping plate can include a central member including at least two mounting openings and a mounting surface wherein the mounting surface defines a mounting plane. The deformable tapping plate can also include a first attachment pad located adjacent a first end of the central member that is connected to the central member by a first connecting arm. The first attachment pad includes a first attachment surface defining an attachment plane. The first connecting arm can include a first arched portion that projects away from both the mounting plane and the attachment plane and can include a first narrowed apex having a thickness that is less than a thickness of adjacent portions of the first arched portion.

The disclosure provides a vehicle side structure. The vehicle side structure is for being mounted near a door, and includes: an electric motor disposed inside the door to drive a door glass up and down; a fitting member, fitting the door and a vehicle body; and a connecting member, connecting the fitting member and the electric motor.

A vehicle door assembly includes, among other things, a ramp pivotable back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position. The vehicle door assembly further includes a door slidable back-and-forth between a closed position and an open position. The door and the ramp are configured to slide together when the ramp is in the stowed position. The door is configured to slide relative to the ramp when the ramp is in the deployed position.

A vehicle door assembly comprises: an outer door panel skin; and a seal carrier rail, wherein the seal carrier rail is shaped to provide: a first elongate recess at a first face of the seal carrier rail configured to accommodate a waist seal within the first elongate recess; and a second elongate recess at a second face of the seal carrier rail opposite the first face, wherein the second elongate recess is located between the seal carrier rail and the outer door panel skin.

An embodiment door mounting unit for a vehicle includes a body hinge shaft and first mounting portions disposed at both ends of the body hinge shaft, wherein the body hinge shaft is configured to be elongated in a door opening of a vehicle body along a pillar in a height direction of the vehicle body and is configured to be mounted on the vehicle body by the first mounting portions.

An inner-cabin side part of a hollow part of a protector with a sensor extends between a top end and an inner-cabin side end with an inner-cabin side apex closest to an interior of an automobile body. An outer-cabin side part of the hollow part extends between the top end and an outer-cabin side end with an outer-cabin side apex closest to an exterior of the automobile body. Distances are shorter between the apexes and the ends than between the top end and the apexes. A first conductive part includes parts closer to an installation base member than an apex of a second conductive part. Lower ends of the first conductive part have protrusions formed. The protrusions extend to protrude toward the second conductive part from an inner surface of an outer coat of the hollow part and are formed on uneven bases.

A stowable check strap assembly for a vehicle having a body and a removable door. The assembly includes a bracket configured to rotatably couple to the vehicle body, and a check strap rotatably coupled to the bracket and configured to be operably and removably coupled with a door detent coupled to the removable door. The bracket is rotatable between a deployed position where the check strap is positioned to extend outwardly from the vehicle body and engage the door detent, and a stowed position where the check strap is positioned to be and is rotated toward the vehicle body for stowage thereof.

Some embodiments are directed to a vehicle door that includes a door frame and a trim panel connected to the door frame. The vehicle door can also include an upper garnish connected to the door frame and including a connection portion. A bracket can be disposed along an edge of the trim panel and extend along a length of the door frame. The bracket can snap fit into the connection portion of the upper garnish, and a pinch sensor can be disposed on the bracket.

A garnish configured to enable use of a common door for a two-door vehicle and a four-door vehicle. The garnish may have a body. The body may be directly mountable onto a carriage of the two-door vehicle between an outer panel and a rocker panel of the two-door vehicle. The body may have an edge that is flush to a rear edge of the common door when mounted. The body may have at least two edges forming approximately a 90-degree angle.
