A speaker system includes a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a speaker unit, and a sound absorber. The first panel is an outer panel constituting a part of a vehicle door of a vehicle having a compartment. The second panel constitutes a part of the vehicle door and is situated closer to the compartment than the first panel and has an opening. The third panel constitutes a part of the vehicle door and resides between the first panel and the second panel. The speaker unit overlaps the opening in a plan view when viewed from the compartment along a central axis of the speaker unit and outputs sound toward the compartment. The sound absorber is arranged at a location corresponding to an anti-node of particle velocity in a standing wave generated in a space defined between the speaker unit and the first panel.

The present invention reduces the generation of an unusual sound resulting from vibration of a part of a sheet. A first sheet includes: a peripheral portion which is to surround a service hole of a door inner panel; and a central portion surrounded by the peripheral portion, the first sheet having, along a boundary between the central portion and the peripheral portion, a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes each of which differs in size from each of the plurality of first holes.

In a state in which a plurality of door hole seals are stacked on top of each other, the door hole seals are prevented from being bonded to each other without the need to use a release paper. Each of the door hole seals has a main body part and an adhesive part, wherein the main body part has a protrusion provided thereon at a position that is different from a position at which the adhesive part is arranged, and the protrusion has a height greater than a thickness of the adhesive part.

This disclosure details vehicle windows that include water management features. In some embodiments, the vehicle windows include a water management corner piece for managing the flow of water or other precipitation around the window. The corner piece may be secured to a window glass pane and may positioned and shaped for channeling the water along an engineered drainage path.

A door assembly may include a sub-assembly having a sub-assembly panel, one or more rails, an edge strip, and a sealing gasket. The rails may extend from the sub-assembly panel and may overhang an edge of the panel to be sealed. The edge strip may be configured to seal the panel extending across a region of the edge where the rail overhangs the edge. The sealing gasket may be a foam-in-place gasket. The sealing gasket may be applied to the sub-assembly panel around the perimeter of the sub-assembly panel and may interact with the edge strip at the region where the at least one rail overhangs the edge to form a contiguous seal around the sub-assembly panel.

A handle supporting a mat roller head at an angle to the handle to make applying force to the adhesive acoustic damping mat easier in tight spaces. The angle is optionally adjustable. The roller head includes arms supporting a roller with a two-dimensionally corrugated surface to enable applying adhesive acoustic damping mats to irregular surfaces. Additionally, the roller head supports two LEDs to improve visibility of the workspace when adhesive acoustic damping mats are being applied. Power for the LEDs comes from batteries in a battery compartment in the handle. The screw-on battery compartment cap includes an ON/OFF switch. The handle has a top thumb rest and a bottom finger rest and has a partial tactile engagement surface.

The present invention reduces the generation of an unusual sound resulting from vibration of a part of a sheet. A first sheet includes: a peripheral portion which is to surround a service hole of a door inner panel; and a central portion surrounded by the peripheral portion, the first sheet having, along a boundary between the central portion and the peripheral portion, a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes each of which differs in size from each of the plurality of first holes.

A vehicle door module includes a unitary frame and areas circumscribed by the unitary frame wherein the circumscribed areas are filled with a material comprising a closed cell polymeric foam. The vehicle door module can be made by overmolding or compression molding.

A bracket assembly supports a window and prevents a portion of a side window extending into a door of a vehicle from vibrating. The bracket assembly includes a U-shaped bracket including a base and a wall extending upwardly and away from the base on either side of the base to create a channel. Each of the walls defines an upper edge. The bracket assembly also includes a flexible extension extending out from the upper edge of each of the walls. The flexible extension extends to a distal edge, whereby the flexible extensions engage the portion of the side window extending into the door to dampen vibrations of the side window.

It is provided a carrier device for a motor vehicle having a base carrier which is substantially formed by an organo sheet and which extends along a main plane. The base carrier has at least one separation on which a material region is molded out from the main plane while forming at least one free space, such that said material region is spaced apart from an adjacent region of the base carrier by at least one portion, wherein the at least one free space is at least partially filled with an injection of thermoplastic material and/or with a separate insert element, such that the portion of the molded-out material region and the adjacent region are connected to one another thereby.
