The disclosure provides a roofing system suitable for off-road vehicles. The roofing system includes a front panel that connects to a front, first lateral member of a roll cage of the vehicle and extends rearward over a front passenger seat to a rearward, second lateral member of the roll cage. The roofing system includes a rear panel that overlaps and connects to the front panel at a lateral seam including a channel and a seal between the front panel and the rear panel. The same front panel may be used on multiple models of vehicle. The rear panel may be sized according to the model of the vehicle. When different rear panels are used, each rear panel may include the same features along a front edge for forming a seam with the common front panel.

An injection molded part for a motor vehicle includes a film having a scratch-resistant layer, a plastic substrate molded to the film, wherein the plastic substrate is at least partially transparent or translucent, and a scratch-resistant coating molded to the plastic substrate on a side opposite the film.

An instrument panel reinforcement includes a cylindrical-shaped portion being formed as a single piece, being disposed at a driver's seat side, and extending in a vehicle width direction, and a groove-shaped portion being disposed at a front passenger's seat side, extending in the vehicle width direction, and opening in a predetermined direction. The instrument panel reinforcement is provided for a vehicle. The groove-shaped portion includes a reinforcement member being made of synthetic resin and mounted on a predetermined part of the groove-shaped portion, the part being away from the cylindrical-shaped portion by a predetermined distance.

An encapsulation assembly and a forming method thereof, and a vehicle window are provided. The method includes: forming a trim which includes a decoration section and a connection section with a penetration structure formed therein; and forming a gasket which includes a fixing section covering the connection section of the trim, wherein a part of the fixing section is filled into the penetration structure of the connection section. The encapsulation assembly includes: a trim which includes a decoration section and a connection section with a penetration structure formed therein; and a gasket which includes a fixing section covering the connection section of the trim, wherein a part of the fixing section is filled into the penetration structure of the connection section. The vehicle window includes a piece of glass and the above encapsulation assembly. A part of the fixing section of the gasket can be filled into the penetration structure. When the fixing section of the gasket covers the connection section of the trim, the fixing section can be fixed with the connection section of the trim through the penetration structure, such that a more stable connection between the fixing section and the trim can be achieved, which may increase the service life of the encapsulation assembly.

A series of mounting supports, a mounting support for fastening radiator modules and a method for producing mounting supports, in particular for motor vehicles for fastening radiator modules by which the variability of a mounting support with respect to the arrangement of radiator modules can be increased. A series of mounting supports for fastening radiator modules in the front-end structure of motor vehicles relates to mounting supports having a frame which comprises an upper transversal support, two lateral vertical supports and a lower transversal support. At least an upper bearing area and at least a lower bearing area for mounting a radiator module are formed on the frame. Adapter elements for connecting between the mounting support and a radiator module are arranged on the mounting support in the upper bearing area and/or in the lower bearing area, which allow the variable fastening of radiator modules in different relative positions.

An exterior trim for a motor vehicle has a body that forms a surface of the exterior trim. The body has an exterior surface and an interior surface, and defines a recess or cut-out. The body has a single undulating wall formed on the interior surface of the body substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the body, and the single undulating wall at least partially surrounds the recess or cut-out. The exterior trim also includes a human-machine interface (HMI) device disposed at least partially within the recess or cut-out of the body. The HMI device may be used to externally control certain features of the motor vehicle.

When different rear panels are used, each rear panel may include the same features along a front edge for forming a seam with the common front panel.

A cross car beam assembly is provided herein. A composite beam structure extends transversely across a vehicle. A vehicle floor bracket is disposed below the composite beam. A composite reinforcement has a first portion fixedly engaged to the beam structure and a second portion engaged to the vehicle floor bracket.

A vehicle chassis rail includes a tubular structure and an insert, both co-extending along a centerline. The insert is disposed, at least in-part, in the tubular structure, and includes a first wall, a second wall opposed to the first wall, and a corrugated mid-wall spanning laterally between, and attached to, the first and second walls.

The invention relates to a filler tube for a fuel tank, having a tube portion made of plastic material and a tubular adapter, which is connected to the tube portion, for coupling the filler tube to the fuel tank, wherein a lateral surface of the adapter is integrally bonded, in particular welded, to a lateral surface of the tube portion, wherein the adapter and the tube portion overlap in the region of the integrally bonded connection.
