The motor vehicle has a glass roof, an antenna arrangement seated on this glass roof, and a metallic frame. An opening of the glass roof is located below the antenna arrangement and is covered thereby. The frame is located below the glass roof and forms a dome, which extends into the opening of the glass roof and to which the antenna arrangement is mechanically connected. A reflection surface associated with the antenna arrangement is attached on the lower side of the glass roof. The reflection surface has a grid structure made of intersecting lines extending transversely to the z direction. The lines are provided with a metallization which has a width of 0.5 to 2 mm. The intersecting lines delimit free fields, which are not metallized and have a maximum clear dimension of 3 to 15 mm.

A motor vehicle sliding door can be moved by a sliding movement between open and closed positions, wherein, in order to lock the sliding door in the open position, a mechanical door stop in the form of a locking latch which has a receiving region for a catch element of the sliding door is provided, and wherein the locking latch can be released by a motorized actuation device, whereby the catch element is released. In the event of failure of the motorized actuation device of the locking latch, for an intuitive unlocking and locking of the sliding door in the open position thereof may be achieved in that the locking latch has a resiliently loaded overload lever, in that the overload lever forms a lateral portion of the receiving region of the locking latch and in that, when the locking latch is locked, the overload lever can be pivoted outward when a specific pushing force of the sliding door is exceeded.

The invention relates to a vehicle door for closing a door opening provided in a vehicle frame, and to a vehicle door system with the vehicle door according to the invention. The vehicle door has body panels, an inner panel which, in the fitted position, faces the vehicle interior, and an outer panel which, in the fitted position, faces away from the vehicle interior, said panels being connected fixedly to each other and delimiting a cavity. With the proviso of providing a vehicle door of the type mentioned at the beginning, which can be produced in a less complicated manner, it is proposed that an end panel for delimiting the cavity is provided as a further body panel at least on one narrow side of the vehicle door, and that the end panel is connected fixedly laterally to the outer panel and the inner panel.

Sealing system of B-pillarless rear sliding door

The invention relates to a vehicle door system with two vehicle doors, with a vehicle body which encloses a passenger compartment and has a common vehicle door opening for the two vehicle doors, wherein, for closing the door opening, the vehicle doors being movable in a manner such that they move from an open position into a closed position and relative to each other and, in the closed position, each are adjacent to the other in a connecting region via a connecting end side, and with impact protection which has stiffening elements for stiffening the vehicle doors in the vehicle opening, and wherein at least one first stiffening element is arranged in the connecting region of the one vehicle door and at least one stiffening element is arranged in the connecting region of the other vehicle door.
