VEHICLE DOOR WITH A RESONANCE-BODY COMPONENT FOR A SPEAKER, AND MOUNTING METHOD
A vehicle door that includes at least a door skin, a carrier component fixed the door skin for separating a wet space from a dry space on the vehicle door, wherein the carrier component has a wet-space side facing the wet space and a dry-space side facing the dry space, a speaker arranged on the carrier component, and a resonance body component connected the carrier component for forming a resonance space for the speaker on the wet-space side of the carrier component. The resonance body component, which together with the carrier component forms the resonance space for the speaker, forms a rail carrier surface on which at least one guide rail is provided for a window regulator of the vehicle door.
SPEAKER SYSTEM AND VEHICLE DOOR
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.
SEALING MEMBER
A door hole cap and a sealing member both maintain water stopping performance of a door hole cap and reduce manufacturing costs. The door hole cap includes: a capping member having a groove that is recessed toward an inside of a vehicle; and a sealing member to be attached to the groove. The groove is formed along an entire perimeter of a first peripheral part. The sealing member includes: a main body section to be inserted into the groove; a first sealing section which extends from the main body section and which abuts on a door inner panel; and a groove touch section which extends from the main body section toward an inner surface of the groove and which abuts on the inner surface.
Door structure and method of assembling vehicle door
A door structure includes an inner panel disposed closer to an inner side of a vehicle than an outer panel of a vehicle door and having an opening, and a cover member for covering the opening. A peripheral edge portion of the cover member is disposed closer to an outer side of the vehicle than a peripheral edge portion of the opening and overlaps the peripheral edge portion of the opening of the inner panel in an interior-to-exterior direction of the vehicle while contacting the peripheral edge portion of the opening.
STRUCTURAL MODULE HAVING FRANGIBLE EXTENSION MEMBER
A structural door module for a motor vehicle door includes a carrier plate with a dryside and wetside surface configured for mounting components thereto. The carrier plate includes an extension member projecting inwardly toward the vehicle interior. A frangible connection seam is disposed at least partially around the interface between the extension member and the carrier plate. In response to a side impact load, the carrier plate moves inwardly, and the frangible connection seam at least partially severs. The carrier plate moves inwardly relative to the extension member, limiting intrusion of the extension member into the passenger compartment.
Hybrid door module
A carrier module for a motor vehicle door assembly having inner and outer panels defining a door panel structure with the inner panel having an opening for selective access to an internal door cavity between the inner and outer panels are provided. The carrier module includes a carrier having an outer periphery configured for attachment to the inner panel to substantially close off the opening with the outer periphery bounding a wall having a variable wall thickness with support regions of the wall having an increased thickness relative to adjacent non-support regions.
DOOR HOLE CAP AND SEALING MEMBER
A door hole cap and a sealing member are provided which make it possible to both maintain water stopping performance of a door hole cap and reduce manufacturing costs. The door hole cap includes: a capping member having a groove that is recessed toward an inside of a vehicle; and a sealing member to be attached to the groove. The groove is formed along an entire perimeter of a first peripheral part. The sealing member includes: a main body section to be inserted into the groove; a first sealing section which extends from the main body section and which abuts on a door inner panel; and a groove touch section which extends from the main body section toward an inner surface of the groove and which abuts on the inner surface.
Liquid diverter assembly and liquid diverting method for a vehicle door
A liquid diverter assembly for a vehicle door includes, among other things, a funnel adjacent a vertically lower end portion of a glass run within a vehicle door, and a conduit that communicates liquid from the funnel around an electrically powered component of the vehicle door. A method of diverting liquid within a vehicle door includes, among other things, collecting liquid from a glass run of a vehicle door within a funnel, communicating liquid from the funnel to a conduit, and communicating liquid through the conduit such that the liquid moves around an electric component of the vehicle door.
DOOR STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING VEHICLE DOOR
A door structure includes an inner panel disposed closer to an inner side of a vehicle than an outer panel of a vehicle door and having an opening, and a cover member for covering the opening. A peripheral edge portion of the cover member is disposed closer to an outer side of the vehicle than a peripheral edge portion of the opening and overlaps the peripheral edge portion of the opening of the inner panel in an interior-to-exterior direction of the vehicle while contacting the peripheral edge portion of the opening.
TWO-PART SEAL FOR VEHICLE DOOR ASSEMBLY
A seal for a vehicle door. The seal includes a lower seal member structured to be mounted to a lower vehicle door portion and an upper seal member structured to be mounted to an upper vehicle door portion. The upper seal member sealingly contacts the lower seal member when the upper vehicle door portion is mounted to the lower vehicle door portion. The lower seal member includes a projection structured to abut a portion of the lower vehicle door portion when the lower seal member is mounted to the lower vehicle door portion, so as to prevent a movement of the lower seal member and resulting misalignment between the upper and lower seal members during movement of the seal members into sealing contact with each other.
