Abstract:
During the transition from the opening to the closing movement of a glove compartment door, or vice versa, undesirable noises (“clicking”/“popping”) can be reduced by providing regions of a housing surrounding a rotation damper with a contact region made of a material having a lower modulus of elasticity than the material of the remainder of the housing.
