A catcher structure of a door beam is provided. A catcher mechanism is composed of an engaging hook connected to a rear end part of a door beam, and an insertion hole provided at a lower end part of a center pillar, which is a member on a vehicle body side. In a state in which a door is closed, the rear end part of the door beam, and the engaging hook and the insertion hole of the catcher mechanism are arranged at positions overlapping with each other when viewed from a vehicle width direction. The engaging hook includes a projection part projecting from the rear end part of the door beam toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction, and the insertion hole opens toward an outer side in the vehicle width direction.

A passenger vehicle includes a body, a powertrain, a first door, and a second door. The body defines a passenger compartment having an opening. The powertrain propels the passenger vehicle on a public roadway. The first door is movably coupled to the vehicle body to at least partially close the opening. The first door includes a door structure, which defines a cavity, and a first window that is movable between a lowered position in the cavity and a raised position in which a forward edge thereof is substantially coextensive with a forward end of the cavity. The second door is movably coupled to the vehicle body to at least partially close the opening. The second door includes a second window having a second forward edge. The rearward edge of the first window at least one of engages the second forward edge or compresses a seal with the second forward edge.

An inner panel assembly of a side door of a vehicle comprises an inner panel including an inner panel portion and a reinforcement part. The inner panel portion includes a base, an outer edge and an inner edge along a length direction and partially defines a window aperture. The reinforcement part has a first end and a second end along the length direction, and is connected to the inner panel portion via a clinched herring process, and the first end and the second end of the reinforcement part are received in an outer clinched hem flange and an inner clinched hem flange of the inner panel portion formed by the outer edge and the inner edge during the clinched hem process, respectively.

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 includes a door inner, a beam having a first end and a second end spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis, and a bracket. The bracket is fixed to the door inner and the beam, with the bracket between the door inner and the first end of the beam. The beam includes a cutout extending along the longitudinal axis to the first end.

A frame structure for a vehicle door and a method of manufacture thereof is disclosed. In particular, a vehicle side door includes at least two tubular parts which are flexurally deformed in the direction of their longitudinal extension and connected to each other to form a ring structure. The ring structure incorporated into a structural unit with the frame structure and a crash reinforcement in a vehicle door of a motor vehicle.

A vehicle door includes an outer panel, an inner panel including an inner wall portion, a side wall portion, and a flange portion, an impact beam provided so to extend between the outer panel and the inner wall portion on a surface parallel to inner wall portion, and a bracket including a fixed portion, a joint portion, and a recessed portion. The recessed portion recesses toward an inner-panel side such that a tip end of the impact beam is distanced from the bracket. In an extending direction of the impact beam, a yield strength of a region from the fixed portion to a tip end position of the impact beam for a load applied from the outer panel-side is lower than a yield strength of a region from the tip end position of the impact beam to the joint portion for the load applied from the outer-panel side.

A door impact beam that is disposed across a door frame of a vehicle and a method of manufacturing the door impact beam may include a body formed in a pipe shape and concaved on a side facing an external side of the vehicle; and coupling portions integrally extending from first and second end portions of the body to be coupled to the door frame through spot welding.

A vehicle door structure includes an outer door panel made of resin, etc. The outer door panel has an attenuated portion. The attenuated portion is provided along a boundary line that divides the outer door panel into at least a first region that includes the outer door handle and other regions.

A vehicle door includes a door inner, a beam having a first end and a second end spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis, and a bracket. The bracket is fixed to the door inner and the beam, with the bracket between the door inner and the first end of the beam. The beam includes a cutout extending along the longitudinal axis to the first end.
