Problems solved by technology

Instead, these locking mechanisms are mounted separately within the door cavity, making the locking mechanisms difficult to service because the entire module must be removed to gain access to the locking mechanisms
Furthermore, installation of the locking mechanism after the door module has been installed is usually performed by inserting the locking mechanism through a relatively small hole in the door module, which complicates the installation process

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 Vehicle 10 is shown having body 12 , hinged doors 22 , and sliding doors 24 . The sliding door 24 has a front end 20 and a rear end 18 . The doors 22, 24 include an outer door panel 26 and an inner door panel 28 (see Figure 1a ). The inner door panel 28 is connected to the outer door panel 26 to define a door cavity 30 therebetween. refer to Figure 1a , the outer panel 26 has an outer side 32 and an inner side 34 . The inner panel 28 has an outer side 36 and an inner side 38 . Such as figure 2 As shown in , the inner panel 28 has an aperture 40 that provides access to the door cavity 30 .

[0035] figure 2 A prior art door module 42 that has been proposed for use with the vehicle door 22 is shown. It can be seen that the door module 42 comprises a single carrier 44 holding a plurality of door hardware components 47 such as snap bolts 46 mounted to the carrier 44 via presenters 48, Front door latch 50 also mounted to carrier 44 via lead-in 51, comp...

Abstract

A vehicle door comprising an outer door panel an inner door panel and a door Module. The inner door panel is joined to the outer door panel so as to define a door cavity between the inner and outer door panels. The inner door panel has an aperture providing access to the door cavity. The door module includes a plurality of carrier portions including a first carrier portion that holds at least one functional door hardware component and a second carrier portion that holds at least one other functional door hardware component. The plurality of carrier portions are mounted to the inner panel to seal the aperture thereby defining a wet side of the door module facing towards the door cavity and a dry side of the door module facing away from the door cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to vehicle doors and door modules. Background technique [0002] In a door module, multiple functional door hardware components are pre-assembled onto a single plate or some other form of single carrier so that the components can all be loaded simultaneously to the door on the vehicle assembly line via a single plate / carrier and save Assembly steps. [0003] It is also known to use door modules for sliding doors, for example in minivans. However, some door modules for sliding vehicle doors do not include components such as locking mechanisms. Instead, these locking mechanisms are mounted separately within the door cavity, making the locking mechanisms difficult to service because the entire module must be removed to gain access to the locking mechanisms. Furthermore, installation of the locking mechanism after the door module has been installed is typically performed by inserting the locking mechanism through...
