Abstract:
A door assembly includes a simple and compact mount for attaching a power or manual window drive mechanism within a door module. The drive mechanism can be removed from a door panel without having to remove the driven mechanism that lowers and raises the window. The drive mechanism is positioned on one side of the panel and the driven mechanism is positioned on an opposite side of the panel from the drive mechanism. A retaining assembly retains the driven and drive mechanisms to the panel such that the drive mechanism can be selectively detached from the panel without detaching the driven mechanism from the panel.
Abstract:
Sliding door for motor vehicles, having an outer door skin, an inner door skin and a door inside trim, supported on a guide rail on a vehicle body and which is movable between an opened and closed positions. The sliding door includes a cable guide assembly for accommodating and guiding electric cables, which connect first electric elements provided in or on the vehicle body to second electric elements provided on the sliding door, whereby on moving the sliding door, the cable guide assembly is movable in a plane including the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and whereby a guide channel for guiding the cable guide assembly is provided on moving the sliding door. Guide surfaces of the guide channel are formed or integrated at least in sections on the inner door skin, in a door module support and/or on the door inside trim.

Abstract:
A drive device for moving a covering element for covering an opening in a motor vehicle, in particular a roller blind, a baggage space cover or a sunroof cover, is provided. The drive device comprising a drive, a guide means and a thrust element which is coupled to the drive, is guided in the guide means and is connectable to the covering element in order to move the covering element. The drive for driving the thrust element is coupled to the thrust element via a transmission means being subjected to tensile stress, wherein the transmission means extends at least in certain sections in the guide means.
Abstract:
A method for control of door and window adjusting parameters is disclosed, the method including the steps: determining at least a first door adjusting parameter and at least a first window adjusting parameter, controlling the first door adjusting parameter and a further door adjusting parameter by considering the determined first window adjusting parameter and controlling the first window adjusting parameter and a further window adjusting parameter by considering the determined first door adjusting parameter. The above steps may also be performed in the alternative. An interaction between the two moveable elements sliding door and window pane is assured. The control of further parameters can occur in dependence from the determined parameters in such way that the risk of arising injuries and in particular damages by a crush incident between a C column of the motor vehicle and the sliding door at a window opening of the sliding door is minimized.

Abstract:
A method of assembling of a door comprising the steps of providing a door inner panel having an outer face and an inner face, at least one functional component of the door, an anti intrusion beam and a door outer panel. The functional component is assembled onto and towards the outer face. The anti intrusion beam is assembled towards the outer face prior to assembling the door outer panel towards the outer face. Fixing means secure the door inner panel, the functional component, the anti intrusion beam and the door outer panel relative to each other.
