    摘要: This disclosure provides a door lining upper base and a method of manufacturing the door lining upper base through injection molding of several sub-components. The door lining upper base is manufactured by separately injection molding a base substrate that forms the structural shape of the door lining upper base including aesthetic curvature, and first and second support structures that include attachment mechanism for connecting the door lining upper base to other aspects of the motor vehicle. In this way, each sub-component may be injection molded in a cost effective manner using a two-piece mold without the need for complex multi-part molds including side-sliders or lifters. The resulting door lining upper base therefore includes an aesthetic curvature, while still being manufactured in an efficient and cost effective manner.

    摘要: A sunshade assembly for a vehicle door includes a housing including a storage portion configured to support a retractor for a sunshade, and a guide portion configured to guide the sunshade into and out of the storage portion. The guide portion includes a first wall and a second wall extended from the storage portion. The first wall and the second wall together define an elongated first opening for extension of the sunshade from the retractor. A sunshade garnish includes a base wall having an elongated second opening aligned with the first opening. A mounting flange depending from the base wall flanks the first wall and is directly connected to an outer surface of the storage portion. A weather-strip support covered by the sunshade garnish includes a mounting tab flanking the second wall and directly connected to the outer surface of the storage portion.
