The invention relates to a surface temperature-controlling device, in particular for use in vehicles, comprising a first air-distributing layer which has multiple air inlets extending through the first air-distributing layer and multiple air outlets extending through the first air-distributing layer, and a second air-distributing layer which fluidically connects air inlets and air outlets of the first air-distributing layer, wherein the air inlets are designed to introduce pre-heated or pre-cooled air into the second air-distributing layer, and the air outlets are designed to discharge air out of the second air-distributing layer.

An automotive panel assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a first panel, a second panel, and a flange of the first panel folded over an edge region of the second panel to hem together the first and second panels. The flange of the first panel includes a textured geometry that interlocks with a textured geometry of the edge region.

A panel-shaped formed product made of a metal sheet includes a top panel portion, an opening portion, and a vertical wall portion. The top panel portion is polygonal. The opening portion is provided in the top panel portion. The vertical wall portion extends from at least not less than two adjacent borders among the borders of the top panel portion. At least one pair of each vertical wall portion of pairs of adjacent vertical wall portions of the vertical wall portions has a stepped portion. As a result, the panel shaped formed product has fewer defects such as cracks and wrinkles even when it has a shape that is difficult to form.

A wiring member integrated door resin component includes a built-in component (for example, a door resin component) and a wiring member. The built-in component is a component having a wiring member housing groove in one main surface and incorporated into a box-like member to partition an inner side and outer side of the box-like member. The wiring member is held by the built-in component in a state where at least a part thereof in an extension direction is housed in the wiring member housing groove.

A door frame for a vehicle includes an inboard panel that includes an outer peripheral wall, an inner peripheral wall spaced apart from the outer peripheral wall, and an inboard side wall connecting the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall. The outer peripheral wall extends obliquely at a predetermined angle. The doorframe also includes an outboard panel coupled to the inboard panel. The outer peripheral wall has a mounting hole for mounting a door weatherstrip.

An interior cover mount assembly includes a base member and an interior cover including a clip and the clip includes an arm section and a head section having a width greater than that of the arm section. The base member has an insertion stopper hole through which the head section is inserted and a projection projecting from the base member toward the interior cover and disposed near the holding section. The insertion stopper hole includes an insertion section through which the head section is inserted and a holding section having a width smaller than that of the head section and greater than that of the arm section and where the arm section is arranged. In the interior cover that is mounted on the base member, the clip is fit in the insertion stopper hole such that the head section overlaps the holding section and the projection in the mounting direction.

A vehicle door structure includes an outer panel, an inner panel assembled to a vehicle width direction inner side surface of the outer panel so as to form a panel space with the outer panel, a cover assembled to the inner panel so as to close a service hole, which is a through hole formed in the inner panel in order to facilitate a work in the panel space, a control box assembled to the cover and configured to control input/output of electric power and/or control signal to/from at least one of electric components disposed on a vehicle door; and a door trim assembled to a vehicle width direction inner side surface of the inner panel so as to cover the cover and the control box.

A vehicle door structure includes a mirror retainer having a main body, which is joined to the front end of an outer reinforcement with a part of the main body overlapping with the outer reinforcement. The mirror retainer includes an upper leg, which has a first facing surface facing a lower leg and is joined to the inner panel. The lower leg has a second facing surface facing the upper leg and is joined to the inner panel. A reinforcing member is connected to the first facing surface and at least one of a main body inner surface and the second facing surface so as to reinforce the mirror retainer.

A door of a vehicle may include a door internal panel; a door external panel mounted outside a passenger compartment with respect to the door internal panel, detachably coupled to the door internal panel, and made of a lightweight material than the door internal panel; and a reinforcement member mounted between the door external panel and the door internal panel and fastened to the door external panel and the door internal panel to increase rigidity, reducing weight and cost of the door of the vehicle and easily replacing the door external panel.

An automotive panel assembly includes, among other things, a first panel, a second panel, a flange of the first panel folded over an edge region of the second panel to hem together the first and second panel, and a dimple of the flange extending into an aperture within the edge region of the second panel. At least a portion of the aperture is exposed.
