The present invention relates to an instrument panel support assembly () in a motor vehicle, comprising a transverse tube () extending substantially between the A-columns of the motor vehicle and configured for receiving a steering column, air bags, a fuse box and/or an instrument panel, wherein the instrument panel support assembly () is characterized in that an extruded retainer profile made of a light metal alloy encloses the transverse tube () at least in sections, wherein the retaining profile extends in sections in the axial direction of the transverse tube ().

Instrument panel support assembly in a motor vehicle

In a method for the production of a dashboard support for a motor vehicle, a blank is cut from an extruded profile part. The blank is then trimmed and shaped to form a mount which is connected to an end of a crossbeam for allowing subsequent coupling of the crossbeam via the mount to an A-pillar of the motor vehicle.

Dashboard support, and method for the production of a dashboard support

A structural part for a motor vehicle includes an inner component having a generally rectangular cross section and configured in the form of a multichamber hollow section made of light metal, and an outer component having a generally rectangular cross section. The inner and outer components are movable in a telescoping manner relative to one another between an idle state and an activated state. A first locking mechanism is provided to lock the idle state and a second locking mechanism is provided to lock the activated state. The movement of the inner and outer components from the idle state to the activated state is hereby realized by an actuator.

Extendible structural part for a motor vehicle

A dashboard support of a motor vehicle includes a cross member having at least two axial profile sections of different cross-sectional configuration. The profile sections are coupled to one another by a flange plate. Secured to the cross member are support arms which are made of profile elements, with one of the support arms being a transmission tunnel support arm arranged substantially in midsection on the cross member or the flange plate. The transmission tunnel support arm is made of two sections of U-shaped cross section, with one of the two sections being shorter than the other one of the two sections.
