Reconfigurable Storage Assembly For A Vehicle
A reconfigurable storage assembly for a vehicle according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a first floor panel and a second floor panel. The first floor panel includes a first outboard region, a first inboard region, and a first underside surface. The first outboard region is configured to be coupled to a base of the vehicle. The first floor panel is configured to pivot in a first rotational direction from a first closed position to a first open position. The second floor panel includes a second outboard region, a second inboard region, and a second underside surface. The second outboard region is configured to be coupled to the base. The second floor panel is configured to pivot in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction from a second closed position to a second open position.
Overhead console button carrier having a unitary body
An overhead console button carrier has a unitary body. That unitary body includes a first light collimator, a second light collimator, a first intrusion sensor bracket, a second intrusion sensor bracket, a third intrusion sensor bracket and a plurality of button guides. A method and mold assembly for making the overhead console button carrier is also provided.
Display screen mounting assembly
A vehicle instrument panel assembly includes a display screen positioned within a housing, wherein the housing includes first and second protrusions. The vehicle instrument panel assembly includes a cross-car beam and a first bracket coupled to the cross-car beam. A second bracket is coupled to the first bracket and the first and second protrusions.
Sensor bracket structure
The disclosure provides a sensor bracket structure adapted to mount an external sensor to a moving body via a bracket. The bracket includes a fixing surface and a load receiving surface connected to the fixing surface. The external sensor is fixed to the fixing surface. The load receiving surface extends from the fixing surface toward the top in a direction where the load receiving surface intersects with the fixing surface.
