A vehicle sandwich component with a layered construction having a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure may have a first lower honeycomb layer and a second upper honeycomb layer, the first lower honeycomb layer has at least one edge portion protruding laterally in the transverse direction beyond the second upper honeycomb layer, and a central honeycomb layer region or compression region which has a reduced thickness, achieved by compression, in relation to the edge portion and on which the second upper honeycomb layer is provided. Also, method for producing a vehicle-sandwich component of this type.

The invention relates to a roof frame component of a roof opening system of a vehicle, wherein, according to the invention, said roof frame component is made of at least one organic sheet or has at least one organic sheet.

Roof frame component of a roof opening system of a vehicle

A flat composite component, in particular a vehicle body part, comprising a material composite having an outer layer, a barrier layer adjoining the outer layer and a carrier structure on which the barrier layer is arranged and which comprises a core which has a first cover layer on the side facing the barrier layer and a second cover layer on the side facing away from the barrier layer. According to the invention, the barrier layer and the carrier structure have thermal expansion coefficients which are selected such that a deformation of the material composite in the case of a temperature change at least largely stops in a range between &#x2212;50&#xb0; C. and +80&#xb0; C.

Flat composite component, in particular a vehicle body part

The invention relates to a convertible top, comprising a top linkage, which can be moved between an open position that opens the vehicle interior upward and a closed position that covers the vehicle interior above and which as a link assembly on both sides with respect to a vertical vehicle longitudinal center plane, and at least one top element that is at least largely rigid, which top element extends between the link assemblies arranged on both sides. The top element is designed as a plastic composite component that comprises a substrate structure, which is formed on an outer skin that is made of a textile material having a rubber back lining.

Convertible top having a fabric outer skin

A composite member for a vehicle body a method for manufacturing such a composite member, in particular, for a vehicle roof, with a fiber-free outer skin () and a fiber-reinforced support layer (), which is deposited at the inner side of the outer skin in order to support the outer skin. The side of the support layer () that faces away from the outer skin () is provided with a fiber-reinforced reinforcing layer () for reinforcing the support layer. The reinforcing layer has a higher fiber concentration than the support layer.

A roof module for motor vehicles is disclosed having an exterior skin, a material layer adjacent thereto, a spacer layer, and a circumferential plastic material.

Roof module for a motor vehicle

A process and tool for producing a composite body part for a motor vehicle, especially for producing a roof module, the tool having a first tool part and a second tool part which are movable relative to one another. The outer skin is inserted in the first tool part, at least part of the peripheral edge area of the side of the outer skin facing the first tool part being moved into sealing contact with a seal arrangement which is provided on the first tool part, plastic material is applied to the side of the outer skin facing away from the first tool part, the second tool part provision shaping the plastic material, and the composite body part being released from the seal arrangement and removed from the tool.

Process for producing a composite body part for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle body part, especially a motor vehicle roof, cargo bed, or the like, which includes a composite material having an outside skin and a support structure in a sandwich structure. In order to prevent penetration of moisture into the support structure, the support structure, at least in certain areas, is provided with a vapor barrier layer.
