    Abstract: A vehicle hood lever assembly has a latch mechanism, a latch lever and a striker structure. The latch mechanism has a latching member movable between a hood locking orientation and a hood unlocking orientation. The latch lever attaches to the latch mechanism at a location spaced apart from the latching member movable between a hood catching orientation and a hood release orientation. The striker structure has a main striker member and a secondary striker member. With the striker structure moving toward the latch mechanism, a surface of the secondary striker member contacts a portion of the latch lever moving the latch lever from the hood release orientation to the hood catching orientation. In response to continued movement of the striker structure toward the latch mechanism, the main striker member engages the latching member and is restrained against further movement with the latching member being moved into the hood locking orientation.

    Abstract: A vehicle body structure having a side roof rail, a B-pillar and a bracket. The side roof rail has an inboard surface. The B-pillar has an upper end portion that overlays a portion of the inboard surface of the roof rail. The B-pillar extends downward from the roof rail. The bracket has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is fixedly attached to the upper end portion of the B-pillar. The bracket further has a first rib and a second rib spaced apart from the first rib. The first rib and the second rib extend from the first portion of the bracket upward toward the second portion of the bracket. The first portion of the bracket further defines a slot located between the first rib and the second rib.

    Abstract: An apparatus for covering a child car seat attachment anchor includes a sleeve that is formed in a single piece, a slot in a first face of the sleeve that defines an opening extending towards a second face of the sleeve opposing the first face, and a rib of the sleeve located at an end of the opening forming a retention surface for the child car seat attachment anchor. The sleeve has an outer shape forming a quadrilaterally faced hexahedron. The retention surface extends in parallel with the second face. The apparatus can be used to cover an ISOFIX wire that extends from a seat crevasse.

    Abstract: A hood latch mechanism for the hood of a vehicle that includes: a base plate; a rivet extending through the base plate; a hood latch receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough; a washer receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough; and a biasing member receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough. The hood latch is repositionable between a first position, in which the hood latch engages the hood to inhibit opening thereof, and a second position, in which the hood latch is disengaged from the hood to allow opening thereof, wherein the biasing member biases the hood latch towards the first position. The washer is fixedly connected to the hood latch so as to inhibit relative movement therebetween, and is positioned between the base plate and the hood latch to reduce friction therebetween and support movement of the hood latch.
