A door inner structure includes a first vertical wall, a second vertical wall, a floor, a lip, and a plurality of vertical ribs. The second vertical wall is disposed laterally inboard of the first vertical wall. The floor extends between and is connected to the first vertical wall and the second vertical wall. The first vertical wall, the second vertical wall, and the floor cooperate to define a storage compartment. The storage compartment has an open end that provides access to the storage compartment. The lip extends from a top edge of the second vertical wall toward the first vertical wall. The plurality of vertical ribs is disposed below the lip and extends from the second vertical wall. Each of the plurality of vertical ribs is connected to an outer surface of the second vertical wall and to an underside surface of the lip.

A passenger vehicle includes a body, a powertrain, a first door, and a second door. The body defines a passenger compartment having an opening. The powertrain propels the passenger vehicle on a public roadway. The first door is movably coupled to the vehicle body to at least partially close the opening. The first door includes a door structure, which defines a cavity, and a first window that is movable between a lowered position in the cavity and a raised position in which a forward edge thereof is substantially coextensive with a forward end of the cavity. The second door is movably coupled to the vehicle body to at least partially close the opening. The second door includes a second window having a second forward edge. The rearward edge of the first window at least one of engages the second forward edge or compresses a seal with the second forward edge.

A power closure latch assembly with a manually actuatable release and reset feature is provided. The release feature allows the latch assembly to be mechanically released from within a cabin of the vehicle such that a vehicle closure panel can be opened, while the reset feature allows the latch assembly to be manually and mechanically reset from within the cabin of the vehicle to allow the vehicle closure panel to be closed and latched.

This door inner panel is a door inner panel formed of a metal sheet and includes a first panel portion having a first top sheet portion and a first standing wall portion connected to the first top sheet portion, a second panel portion having a second top sheet portion disposed with a gap with the first top sheet portion of the first panel portion and a second standing wall portion connected to the second top sheet portion, a flange portion connected to the first standing wall portion and the second standing wall portion, and a flat sheet portion disposed between the first panel portion and the second panel portion, the first standing wall portion and the second standing wall portion respectively have a level difference portion, and both ends of the flat sheet portion are integrated with the flange portion or the level difference portions.

A vehicle door structure has a door inner panel; a BL inner RF that is made of a fiber reinforced resin and that, together with the door inner panel, forms a closed cross-section structure portion; and an up-stop member that is structured to include joined portions that are joined to the BL inner RF, and a rubber stopper that is disposed further toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side than the closed cross-section structure portion. A communication hole, that communicates an interior and an exterior of the closed cross-section structure portion and through which the up-stop member is inserted, is formed in the BL inner RF. The joined portions are joined by rivets in a state of being superposed on the BL inner RF from a vehicle transverse direction inner side.

This method for manufacturing a panel-like formed article has preparing a blank material made of a metal sheet having a tensile strength of 390 MPa or more and 980 MPa or less; and press-forming the blank material in a cold manner using a pressing apparatus to form the blank material into the panel-like formed article, in the press-forming, a blank holder, a first punch, and a second punch are relatively moved with respect to a die, thereby pressing the first punch and the second punch to the blank material, and pressing of the second punch to the blank material is completed before pressing of the first punch to the blank material.

A vehicular door structure includes a door inner panel in which a work aperture is formed, a sealing sheet configured to close the work aperture, a sealing compound application section formed at the door inner panel, and an attachment member configured to hold a wire-shaped member and attach the wire-shaped member to the door inner panel, wherein the attachment member is disposed in the middle of an extension direction of the sealing compound application section, and a sealing compound configured to adhere the sealing sheet to the door inner panel side is continuously applied across the sealing compound application section and the attachment member.

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle opening panel, including: an inner panel having a lower portion, in which a second opening is formed, and an outer skin attached to the inner panel, comprising an inner surface located opposite an outer surface of the inner panel, characterized in that it further comprises, a supporting plate of equipment assembled on the inner panel and covered by the outer skin, the supporting plate being accessible through the second opening, and guide means capable of allowing blind assembly through the second opening of the supporting plate between the outer surface of the inner panel and the inner surface of the outer skin.

A vehicle attachable shielding device for protecting a vehicle control assembly from moisture damage includes a shell that defines an interior space. A first penetration is positioned in a bottom of the shell and defines a rim. The first penetration is configured to insert a control assembly of the vehicle into the interior space. A coupler is coupled to the rim and is configured to couple to an interior surface of a vehicle. A second penetration is positioned in a top of the shell. A panel, which is coupled to the shell, is positioned to selectively couple to the shell to close the second penetration. The shell and the panel are configured to protect the control assembly from moisture damage. The panel is positioned to selectively decouple from the shell so that the second penetration is configured to insert a hand of a user to manipulate the control assembly.

A cabin-interior upright wall of a door inner panel is configured by a first panel member alone. An extension wall extends toward a door outer panel from an end of the cabin-interior upright wall. A lower portion of a front upright wall, which is part of the extension wall, is segmented in a door thickness direction. The extension wall is configured such that a first extension portion of a first panel member is joined to a second extension portion of a second panel member in a state overlapped with the second extension portion.
