A coach door of a vehicle is provided. The door includes a hinge assembly that has a first hinge hinged to a vehicle body and a second hinge hinged to the first hinge and engaged with a rear end of a rear door. An opening start device rotates the rear end of the rear door to the outside of the vehicle at an early stage of opening of the rear door and a closing end device rotates the rear end of the rear door to the inside of the vehicle at a last stage of closing of the rear door. A guide unit is configured to guide a front end of the rear door to move the front end of the rear door in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle at the initial stage of opening of the rear door and the last stage of closing of the rear door.

A vehicle structure including a roof beam and a first pillar and a second pillar each fixed relative to the roof beam. The first pillar and the second pillar are spaced from each other defining a door opening extending from the first pillar to the second pillar. A front door and a rear door are both disposed in the door opening. A panel is pivotally connected to the roof beam and pivotable relative to the roof beam to a lowered position. The panel, in the lowered position, extends across the door opening from the first pillar to the second pillar.

A vehicle door system having an upper door configured to cover a top portion of an opening in the body of a vehicle and to open in an upward direction, and a lower door configured to cover a bottom portion of the opening and to open in a sideways direction. The upper door includes a deployable portion configured to form at least a portion of a canopy extending away from the body of the vehicle.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

A vehicle side portion structure includes a front side door and a rear side door of a vehicle that does not have a center pillar. A lock member is disposed at a vertical direction lower portion of one side door of the front side door and the rear side door. When the one side door is closed, the lock member engages with the other side door to lock the one side door. A reinforcement member is provided inside the one side door at the vertical direction lower portion. A part of the reinforcement member is disposed on an upper side of the lock member so that the lock member is surrounded by the reinforcement member and the peripheral edge portion of the one side door as seen in a side view of the vehicle.

A vehicle door assembly including: a first door; a second door, wherein both the first door and the second door are pivotable between an open configuration and a closed configuration with respect to a chassis of a vehicle; and a structural member, wherein the structural member is deployable from the first door and behind the second door at a junction between the first door and the second door when in the closed configuration. Each of the first door and the second door is pivotable to the open configuration and to the closed configuration regardless of the other of the first door or the second door being in the open configuration or in the closed configuration. Also, the structural member is pivotably deployed. The structural member is constrained by a track structure coupled to the chassis of the vehicle at a top portion and at a bottom portion of the structural member.

A vehicle structure including a first rocker, a second rocker, and a reinforcement. The first rocker is spaced from the second rocker. The reinforcement has a forward beam and a rearward beam spaced from each other. The reinforcement includes a first side member and a second side member each extending from the forward beam to the rearward beam. The first side member abuts the first rocker, and the second side member abuts the second rocker.

A hinge assembly for a vehicle closure panel includes a body mounting member configured to mount the hinge assembly to a vehicle body, a closure panel mounting member configured to mount the hinge assembly to the vehicle closure panel and a hinge connecting arm pivotally connected by a first pivotal connection at a first end to the body mounting member and pivotally connected by a second pivotal connection at a second end to the closure panel mounting member. A first fastening member is movably received by the closure panel mounting member. A first stop member limits movement of the first fastening member in a first direction toward the closure panel mounting member. A second stop member limits movement of the first fastening member in a second direction away from the closure panel mounting member.

A door striker assembly includes a base plate, a reinforcement plate and a striker wire. The base plate has a first surface and a second surface, with a first opening, and a second opening both extending from the first surface to the second surface. The first surface has an offset portion with the first opening being open to the offset portion. The reinforcement plate is dimensioned to fit within the offset portion of the first surface and has a third opening aligned with the first opening. The striker wire has a first end, a second end and a latch engaging portion located between the first end and the second end. The first end extends through the first opening and the third opening and is non-movably connected to at least one of the reinforcement plate and the base plate. The second end extends through the second opening and is non-movably connected to the base plate.

A supplemental locking mechanism for a vehicle center-opening door assembly includes a first retaining member carried by a first door panel upper latch mechanism and a second retaining member associated with a second door panel. The second retaining member is adapted to engage the first retaining member on placing the first door panel and the second door panel in a closed and latched position.
