The RainCatch is primarily designed to protect vehicle passengers when opening a car door during rainy weather. In the time it takes to open or close an umbrella then close the door, rain gets onto the door handle, and the passenger gets wet. The RainCatch solves the timing dilemma of the transition between outside to inside the vehicle during bad weather. The RainCatch acts as a protective covering. The design features two pieces of stabilizer covered on both sides with waterproof nylon. It is 135 cm wide when flat to accommodate most door opening widths. The removable RainCatch has six velcro attachments that hang from the headliner and door frame of a car for seamless entry and exit. The accordion design and a drawstring allow it to close and fold with the door's motion. It can be used on both sides of a car and on front and rear doors.

A door handle assembly for integration into a vehicle door including a support element coupled to the vehicle door, a handle element arranged on the support element, and a radar apparatus arranged on the support element or on or in the handle element and configured to emit radar radiation and to receive reflected radar radiation.

The vehicle includes a side door with a window, an antenna, and a bracket. The side door includes an outer panel located downward from the window and a door frame extending along the perimeter of the window. The antenna is fixed by double-sided adhesive tape on an outer face of a section of the door frame that extends in the up-down direction. The bracket is attached to the side door, and faces a cable extending downward from the antenna. The bracket has a cable opening through which the cable passes, between the bracket and the door frame. The cable opening has a shape through which the antenna cannot pass.

A vehicle device for protecting passengers from being thrown out is disposed at an inner side of a window of a vehicle. The vehicle device includes two rail units disposed at two opposing sides of the window and a block unit disposed between the rail units. The block unit is connected with a drive unit. The drive unit is connected with a control unit. When the control unit detects that the vehicle is about to roll, the control unit will actuate the drive unit to drive the block unit so that the block unit is rapidly unfolded to block the entire window. Thereby, when the vehicle is rolling, the vehicle device can effectively protect the passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle, improving the safety of the vehicle greatly.

A sliding door device for a vehicle includes a door panel for opening and closing a door opening and covered by an upper trim and a lower trim, and a center rail mounted on the door panel to extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and providing a path for a center roller mounted on a center portion of the vehicle body, wherein a lower portion of the upper trim and an upper portion of the lower trim are disposed to overlap each other vertically. The center roller is mounted on a center roller mounting bracket including a first surface extending toward the vehicle body to be vertical to the door panel, a second surface bent from the first surface toward a lower side of the vehicle body, and a third surface extending from the second surface toward the vehicle body to be vertical to the door panel.

An outer pinch sensor is an integral assembly for mounting on a double sliding door arrangement that covers an opening. The integral assembly includes a bracket, and a seal and sensor mounted to the bracket. The bracket is mounted to a leading edge of one of the doors, the leading edge leading the door when the door is moved in a closing direction. The bracket includes a flange for mounting to the door. When mounted to the door, the seal is arranged inboard of the sensor for sealing to an outer surface of the other door. The sensor is arranged furthest in the closing direction than the other components of the assembly so as to sense the presence of an object in the opening. A signal generated by the sensor may then be used to perform emergency operations for the door to prevent pinching of the object.

A vehicle back door has a first cord-like member disposed in a door body formed of a resin panel member. The first cord-like member has a wire that is routed in the panel member, a first mounting member that fixes the wire to the panel member, a second mounting member that fixes the wire to the panel member, and a bracket that movably holds an intermediate part between the first mounting member and the second mounting member of the wire.

A fastening arrangement is disclosed for mounting a decorative cover or a window guide on a vehicle door having a material section associated with a decorative cover or a window guide and another material section is associated with a vehicle door. A connector configured as a connection clip connects the material sections. The connection clip positions the material sections in a form-fitting manner relative to one another in at least one direction.

A door hinge mount of a side external panel for a vehicle, may provide the door hinge mount, capable of being formed of a material, requiring low initial investment expenses, and securing the same level of rigidity as in the case where a steel material is used.

A vehicle door structure includes inner and outer door panels, a door handle assembly and an impact pad. The inner door panel has an access opening that extends from an inboard surface to an outboard surface. The door handle assembly has a base portion overlaying an inboard surface of the outer door panel within a door cavity and a lever portion extending along an outboard surface of the outer door panel. The impact pad has a block portion and a projecting portion that extends from the block portion. The block portion overlays and contacts a portion of the outboard surface of the inner door panel adjacent to the access opening. The block portion is in vertical alignment with a portion of the base portion of the door handle. The projecting portion spans a horizontally measured width of the access opening.
