A motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism that is mounted in a lock case and consists substantially of a rotary latch and a locking pawl. Furthermore, a lock striker that interacts with the locking mechanism is provided, as well as an opener that engages the lock striker during an opening process of an associated motor vehicle door. The opener is acted upon by means of an opening device, at least part of which is integrated in the motor vehicle lock. According to the invention, the opening device is also designed to lift the locking pawl off the rotary latch.

A motorized moveable strike assembly is provided for a vehicle door. The assembly includes a strike on the door post which is moveable by an electric motor between extended and retracted positions. A latch on the door releasably engages the strike. A switch in the latch sends a signal to the controller to actuate the motor after the latch is engaged so as to retract the strike from the extended position to fully close the door. When the latch is disengaged from the strike, the latch switch sends a signal to controller to actuate the motor so as to extend the strike from the retracted position to the extended position as to prepare for the next door closing.

A motor vehicle closing device having a locking mechanism with a catch; at least one pawl, said catch being latchable in at least one latching position by means of the pawl; a lock holder, wherein the lock holder can be brought into engagement with the catch by means of a relative movement between the closing device and the lock holder, and the locking mechanism can be converted into a latching position; and means for locking the lock holder in a main latching position of the locking mechanism. According to the invention, a holding device is provided. The holding device is used to convert a vehicle part which interacts with the motor vehicle closing device from a closed position into an open position, and the holding device forms at least one part of the means for locking the lock holder.
