An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle body including a sill and a pillar extending upwardly from the sill defining a door opening. A member is rotatably supported by the sill and is rotatable relative to the sill from an undeployed position to a deployed position. A link is rotatably supported by the pillar and the member. A pyrotechnic actuator is supported by the vehicle body and is connected to the member.

A composite liftgate structure that is strengthened using a metal hybrid reinforcement. The metal hybrid reinforcement is connected to the perimeter surface area of an inner panel. Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a swing door having an internal tubular frame for providing attachment of hinges and latches to the door and at least one inner or outer panel for attaching to the frame.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body and a reinforcing patch. The vehicle body component defines a cavity. The reinforcing patch is disposed within and attached to the vehicle body component. The reinforcing patch includes a substrate and a reinforcing body attached to the substrate. The reinforcing body has a first tab, a second tab, and a first slit between the first and second tabs. The slit is at least partially filled by the substrate.

Embodiments provide a B-pillarless opposite sliding door in which a hook fastening means is used instead of an upper latch to be installed at an upper end of the B pillarless opposite sliding door. An upper end of a door B-pillar beam, which serves to support a B-pillar, can fastened to a roof part of a vehicle body to ensure a ceiling strength performance when the hook fastening means is applied.

A door has a latch mechanism, a reinforcement bracket and a jamming bracket within a cavity of the door. The latch mechanism retains the door in a closed orientation and in response to operation of the latch mechanism the door is released for movement to an open orientation. The reinforcement bracket is fixedly attached to structures of the vehicle door. The jamming bracket is fixed to the reinforcement bracket and has a locking portion that extends to an area adjacent to a release lever of the latch mechanism. With the door in a non-deformed state, the release lever is movable between a door opened orientation and a door closed orientation. In response to deformation of the door resulting from an exterior impact force, the locking portion of the jamming bracket moves toward the release lever preventing the release lever from moving to the door opened orientation.

The present application relates to a reinforcement element (30) arranged to be attached to a profile (10) for forming a B-pillar for a vehicle, which profile (10) is arranged with attachment areas (22, 24) for door hinges, characterised in that the reinforcement element (30) is designed with two elongated strips (32, 34) of material, wherein the strips (32, 34) are inter-connected at least at one attachment area (22) for door hinges when the reinforcement element (30) is attached to profile (10), wherein the profile (10) is hat-shaped with a central flange (12) and two sides (14, 6), and wherein each strip (32, 34) is attached to the transition area (36, 38) between the central flange (12) and a side (14, 16). The present application also 10 relates to a B-pillar provided with the reinforcement element as well as a method of manufacturing a B-pillar with the reinforcement element.

An embodiment sliding door mounting reinforcement structure includes a sliding door lower reinforcement configured to be mounted on a side of a vehicle body along a length direction of the vehicle body, the sliding door lower reinforcement including a guide rail mounted therein, the guide rail being configured to guide movement of a sliding door, and a center floor cross unit configured to be mounted in a width direction of the vehicle body, wherein the sliding door lower reinforcement and the center floor cross unit are combined.

An installation structure for a vicinity information detection sensor includes the vicinity information detection sensor and a vibration absorbing member. The vicinity information detection sensor includes a detector attached to a vehicle inner side of an outer panel of a vehicle body and configured to radiate electromagnetic waves that function as radar waves that detect vicinity information of a vehicle, and a motor provided in the detector and configured to change a radiation direction of the electromagnetic waves. The vibration absorbing member is placed between the outer panel and the vicinity information detection sensor.

A vehicle door includes a window area and a hollow door body underneath the window area. A web divides the window area into a front and rear window, and extends into the door body. At least one of the windows has a movable pane, one edge of which engages into a groove of the web. A web holder is anchored on a wall of the door body, and plug connected with a lower end of the web in the longitudinal direction of the web.

An opening degree adjustment device for a vehicle door includes a door check including a pressing member and being fixed to a vehicle door mounted to a vehicle body; a check link including a sliding surface to be pressed by the pressing member, one end being supported on the vehicle body so as to be pivotable, and another end having a stopper member mounted thereon, the check link being movable relative to the door check within a predetermined movable range of the check link between the one end of the check link and the another end of the check link under a state in which the sliding surface is pressed by the pressing member, and an opening degree adjustment block including a first checking region configured to restrict movement of the stopper member.
