A sealed modular trim supplemental side air bag inflatable curtain (SABIC) module assembly includes a SABIC and a vehicle trim assembly encapsulating the SABIC. The SABIC is sealed within the vehicle trim assembly and provided as a complete compact module configured for subsequent attachment to a vehicle roll bar.

The invention concerns a trim element for a motor vehicle comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient comprised between 5 m.sup.−1 and 15 m.sup.−1 in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm and having an external and an internal faces. According to the present invention, an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm, is placed behind the internal face of the glass sheet.

A vehicle trim panel assembly includes a pillar trim panel, a grab handle extending from the pillar trim panel defining a corner between the pillar trim panel and the grab handle, and a ramp at the corner. The ramp is fixed relative to the pillar trim panel and the grab handle at the corner. The ramp is deformable relative to the grab handle.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle that includes a windshield and a frame. In addition, the vehicle includes a first pillar that extends from one side of the windshield. The first pillar includes a first wall and a second wall coupled to the first wall. The first pillar also includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first interior support coupled to the first wall and a second interior support coupled to the second wall. Further, the first interior support includes a first end which is spaced from a second end in the second portion.

A vehicle body front structure includes a front glass, a front pillar having a subsidiary glass provided at further outward in a vehicle width direction of a vehicle body than the front glass, a front pillar upper part provided between a roof and an upper member of the vehicle body and forming a load path of a front collision together with the upper member, and a stud provided in front of the front pillar upper part and configured to support an end portion of the front glass and an end portion of the subsidiary glass, and a garnish configured to cover the stud from an outer side of a passenger compartment.

A front pillar structure has: a front side pillar frame member and a rear side pillar frame member that structure a front pillar disposed at a vehicle transverse direction outer side of a front windshield glass; a transparent member that extends between the front side pillar frame member and the rear side pillar frame member, and that is disposed along a direction intersecting the front windshield glass; a planar portion that is formed at the front side pillar frame member so as to face toward a vehicle front side, and to which a vehicle transverse direction outer side end portion of the front windshield glass is mounted from a vehicle front side; and an angle absorbing member that is provided at a vehicle front side end portion of the transparent member, and that is mounted to the planar portion from the vehicle front side.

A plastics cover for a motor vehicle includes a visible side, an inner side, and a carrier side. The carrier layer is composed of a transparent polymer material, which has a continuous and constant basic wall thickness and at least one of an arrow-shaped, tetrahedral, pyramidal, conical, or cuboidal recess at which at least one wall thickness variation is formed on the inner side of the carrier layer. The finishing layer which is arranged on a visible surface of the carrier layer. The finishing layer comprises a transparent polymer material.

A vehicle trim structure includes a flange provided at a vehicle trim and configured to contact a counterpart member, wherein an end portion of the flange that is configured to contact the counterpart member is formed from a soft material, and a contact face of the end portion is configured with a circular arc-shaped cross-section profile.

There is provided a pillar structure for a vehicle, that has: a pillar frame member having a superposed portion, at which a second wall portion, which faces a vehicle cabin side, of a second member that extends in a length direction of a pillar is superposed with a first wall portion, which faces the vehicle cabin side, of a first member that extends in the length direction of the pillar, and linearly welded portions that are formed due to an edge end portion of the second wall portion being linearly welded to the first wall portion; and a pillar garnish that is mounted at least to the second wall portion, and covers the first wall portion and the second wall portion from the vehicle cabin side.

A vehicle trim piece assembly for an interior of a vehicle includes a mount and a trim piece coupled to the mount. The trim piece has an inboard surface and an outboard surface, at least one projection extending from the outboard surface in a first direction to an outer surface, and a guard extending from the outboard surface in the first direction to a location beyond the outer surface. The projection is received within the at least one opening to secure the trim piece to the mount. In use, an airbag tether engages the guard which directs the tether over the projection so that the tether does not become snagged on the projection.
