A roof module for a vehicle roof of a passenger vehicle includes a module frame which includes a front module frame transverse element, a rear module frame transverse element, a first lateral module frame longitudinal element, and a second lateral module frame longitudinal element, where the first and the second lateral module frame longitudinal elements connect the front and the rear module frame transverse elements to each other. A cover element is mounted on the module frame. The front module frame transverse element is a first shell element and the first shell element is connectable to a second shell element of a roof frame of the vehicle roof. When the first shell element is connected to the second shell element they together form a roof crossmember of the vehicle roof which encloses a cavity.

A door pillar for a supporting frame structure of a vehicle body has an upper section which extends from a vehicle roof as far as a vehicle side edge, and a lower section which extends from the vehicle side edge in the direction of a vehicle floor. In order to improve the door pillar with regard to loading and weight, it has a pillar body which extends at least in the upper section and is made of iron or iron alloy, and a pillar base which is connected fixedly thereto, extends at least in the lower section, and is made of light metal or light metal alloy.

A multisectional sectional front section of a motor vehicle shell body is provided. At least two neighboring parts of the front section extended in a vehicle horizontal direction are attached to one other by connecting flanges which can especially be shifted perpendicularly to a longitude axis of the vehicle to accommodate tolerance differences in the spacing between the lateral sides of the vehicle body.

A bodyshell of a motor vehicle has a front-end structure which has a lower and an upper longitudinal-member plane and in the region of a passenger cell is provided with lateral longitudinal sills. A respective composite strut arrangement is provided on both sides of the vehicle, each said arrangement extending obliquely downwards and also rearwards between the associated upper longitudinal member and the associated lateral longitudinal sill.

A front-end structure for a passenger motor vehicle has a front end region, in the direction of travel, of the brake servo unit which is assigned at least one mechanical forced guidance apparatus. The latter is fixed on at least one body-shell part. In a vehicle impact, the apparatus engages with at least one movement component in the vertical direction of the vehicle, from bottom to top, on the end region of the brake servo unit.

A holding arrangement for a mounted vehicle element on a three-dimensionally contoured supporting wall in a vehicle interior is provided for changing mounting situations. The holding arrangement has two holding elements which are fastened to the supporting wall in a mutually spaced manner, each holding element having a holding plate which, on one side, is constructed as a plane surface and on whose other side a cylindrical holding finger is fastened which extends perpendicularly to the plane surface. For the fastening of the holding elements, two mutually spaced fastening zones are constructed on the supporting wall which each have a plane surface to which the respective holding element is fastened while resting on it with the plane surface of its holding plate. The plane surface of the respective fastening zone is larger than the plane surface of the holding plate of the pertaining holding element. The plane surfaces of the fastening zones extend in parallel to one another. Corresponding to the holding fingers, the mounted vehicle element has two cylindrical receiving devices, into which the holding fingers can be introduced in their axial direction.
