A glazing device for a vehicle has an illuminated glazing unit and has a flat outer glass element at least partly forming or continuing the outer body skin and a flat inner glass element. A one-piece or multipart elongated carrier profile component is arranged on an edge section of the inner glass element and holds a lighting device such that the lighting device couples light laterally into the inner glass element. The carrier profile component is attached to the inner glass element and/or the outer glass element, and/or the outer glass element covers the inner glass element or projects laterally beyond the inner glass element in such a way that an edge section of the outer glass element can be attached to a vehicle roof frame and is spaced apart from the edge section of the inner glass element.

Vehicle automatic window sunscreens are provided, which may comprise a plurality of roller shades for the windows of a vehicle. Sunscreens are installed for the side windows of the vehicle in addition to the windshield and rear window. The sunscreens block or filter radiant energy to reduce the effects of sunlight and heat on occupants and interior components of, and personal property in, the vehicle. The sunscreens protect infants and children if they are forgotten and left in the vehicle during sunny, hot days.

A combination of a window covering assembly and a window frame can be used in a vehicle. The window frame has an outer face including at least one groove having a depth direction in a direction substantially orthogonal to a pane of the window frame. The window covering assembly is provided with one or more snap elements for snap-fixing the window covering assembly to the at least one groove of the window frame.

A rotating shaft movement structure for a door curtain is provided. The rotating shaft movement structure includes a shaft that is mounted to a door trim panel at a position adjacent to a window glass of a vehicle and the door curtain is wound around the shaft. A stationary cover is disposed at an end of the shaft and includes a slit into which the end of the shaft is inserted. The shaft is vertically movable as the end of the shaft slides in the slit, whereby variation in assembly between the left and right sides of the door curtain may be compensated.

A shading device includes a shading curtain and a drawing device. The shading curtain includes a first and second shading layer that have at least two types of light transmission areas with different light transmission properties. The drawing device includes a first and second drawing member. The first drawing member is connected with the first shading layer and is configured to draw the first shading layer. The second drawing member is connected with the second shading layer and is configured to draw the second shading layer. The first and second drawing members are movable relative to each other between a first relative position and a second relative position. The first and the second shading layers parallelly move relative to each other. In the first relative position, the shading curtain has a first light transmission property, and in the second relative position, the shading curtain has a second light transmission property.

A winding assembly for a protective device of a motor vehicle, and a method for producing such a winding assembly. Such a winding assembly includes a form-stable winding shaft and a flexible winding web held on the winding shaft such that it can be wound up and unwound. The winding shaft is formed by a form-stabilized wound-up first portion of a flexible sheet-form material and the flexible winding web is formed by a second portion of the flexible sheet-form material adjoining the first portion, whereby the winding shaft and the winding web are in continuous one-piece form.

A manufacturing method for a roof module includes: a step of fixing a mounting member to an inner surface of a roof panel; a step of assembling a shade unit provided with a pair of guide rails, a shade sheet, and a winding device; a step of attaching a jig for keeping the guide rails parallel to each other to the shade unit; a step of fixing the shade unit to which the jig is attached to the mounting member; and a step of detaching the jig from the shade unit mounted to the inner surface of the roof panel.
