The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, consisting of an interior sheet metal and an exterior sheeting, together which form a hollow interior space of the door, having an opening in the interior sheet metal and having a carrier module that closes said opening, and carries at least one functional part of the motor vehicle door, such as a hinge part, lock part or window lifter part. In order to simplify the assembly of a motor vehicle door it is proposed that the vehicle door () features, apart from the opening () in the interior sheet metal () which may be closed by means of a carrier module, an additional access opening () adequately large for inserting the carrier module, including the at least one functional part, into the interior space () of the door and that the carrier module consists of a base plate () which closes the opening () of the interior sheet metal () from the side of the hollow interior space () of the door.

Motor vehicle door

Hollow-interior vehicle door consisting of an internal in its entirety essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, and of at least one external outer panel element being essentially lid-shaped and supported by the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, such as a door skin, as well as of functional parts for practicing the door functions, and of optionally an inner panel element, in which the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure serves to accommodate functional parts of the vehicle door. The essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure is divided into two parts, in fact, into a first frame-shaped stiffening element () for supporting the outer panel element (outer panel) and into a second essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening element () for supporting functional parts of the vehicle door () and that the two stiffening elements (and) have, in the area of the outward-pointing, thus in Y-direction pointing, side walls of the door interior (A), elongated, preferably frame-shaped connecting surfaces (and') which define the access opening (B) to the door interior (A).

Vehicle door

A sealing arrangement for movable window pane and a fixed window pane of a vehicle, in particular, for a lowerable side window pane and a fixed triangular window pane in a rear door of a passenger car, comprises a profile element, arranged between the movable window pane and the abutting fixed window pane, and a sealing profile, placed inside the profile element, for the guidance and sealing of the movable window pane. In order to reduce air turbulences caused by the profile element, the sealing profile and the profile element are constructed in such a way that the movable window pane rests on a sealing surface of the sealing profile and with the edge area of its interior surface and possibly its lateral face sealed to the sealing surface, and that the fixed window pane is attached on the exterior side of the profile element.
