An elongated retention feature is coupled to the first edge of the body and defines an elongated slot proximate to the first surface of the body. A plurality of retention clips are coupled to the second edge of the body. Each of the plurality of retention clips define a slot proximate to the first surface of the body. At least one housing is coupled to the second surface of the body and defines locking apertures. At least one cap is selectively coupled to the at least one housing. The at least one cap defines locking features selectively disposed within the locking apertures that are defined by the at least one housing.

One way hinge bracket for open frame vehicle side occupant restraint system

A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with a sport tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle. A one way hinge bracket overlaying the side air curtain includes an upper bracket portion coupled to the sport tube via a fastener extending through an orifice in the upper bracket portion, a lower bracket portion depending from a lower edge of the upper bracket portion, and a plurality of aligned openings disposed on the upper bracket portion below the orifice in the upper bracket portion and above the lower edge of the upper bracket portion. The lower bracket portion rotates about a bend line defined by the plurality of aligned openings as the side air curtain deploys from a stowed condition to an inflated condition.

Vibrating panel assembly for radiating sound into a passenger compartment of a vehicle

A vibrating panel assembly configured to radiate sound into a passenger compartment of a vehicle having a support structure is provided. The assembly includes a substrate panel having front and back surfaces. The panel includes an inner portion, an outer boundary portion formed on the perimeter of the panel and an intermediate portion between the inner portion and the outer boundary portion. The vibrating panel has a frequency distribution of modes in a range of audible frequencies. The panel is configured to be attached to the support structure. An electroacoustic vibrator is mounted on the inner portion at the back surface at a predetermined location and is configured to vibrate the panel over the range of audible frequencies in response to an electrical signal. The intermediate portion is configured to increase modal density of the panel.
