A sealing device for sealing a through opening in a vehicle chassis includes a sealing element that can be shifted between an open position, in which the through opening is released, and a closed position, in which the through opening can be closed. The sealing device has an adjusting device which includes a guide housing that can be arranged in a spatially fixed manner on the vehicle chassis, in which guide housing a carrier element is translationally and pivotably guided, where the carrier element has the sealing element. A slide guide is provided, via which the carrier element can be translationally shifted and pivoted in relation to the guide housing. A traction element is translationally entrainably connected to the carrier element, and simultaneously connected in a rotationally decoupled manner, via a pivot bearing. The traction element is translationally shiftable by the drive.

A method for controlling a closing process of a vehicle wing moving from a known start position into an end position representing as closed, position of the vehicle wing and a corresponding closing system for performing the method, When the start position is reached, the closing process of the vehicle wing is started for a prescribed short first time period, and then interrupted for a prescribed second time period in order to warn users or third parties of the imminent closing process of the vehicle wing.

A pair of external vehicle mirrors with a driver-side external vehicle mirror and a passenger-side external vehicle mirror are provided. Each have a mirror foot and a mirror housing pivotably attached, in which an adjustable mirror glass is arranged. The mirror housings of the two external vehicle mirrors are constructed symmetrically, so that an identical oncoming wind flow situation is achieved, and that on a rear side of the two mirror housings there is arranged a mask encompassing the mirror glass, the mask of the driver-side external vehicle mirror being formed asymmetrically to the mask of the passenger-side external vehicle mirror.

A window guide for a side window of a motor vehicle side door in the vicinity of a door frame includes a frame profile, an inner cladding, and an outer cladding. The frame profile is made Z-shaped throughout, with an inner Z-leg flanking the window glazing being secured to a parallel connecting flange of the inner cladding and an outer Z-leg pointing away from the window glazing being attached flush to a parallel inner surface of the outer cladding.

Stackable drawn sheet-metal pieces have spacer knobs which are drawn in a bead-type manner and are integrated in the drawn piece to rise from a wall of the drawn piece. The walls of the drawn piece situated transversely to a stacking direction have a mutual distance such that the walls, which are situated at an acute angle with respect to the stacking direction of the drawn piece, are at most in a loose contact with one another and reliably engage with one another in a no-lock manner. The spacer knobs are arranged in the stack above one another in the same position have a common axis which extends approximately in the center and is situated parallel to the stacking direction. The spacer knobs have the same construction with respect to their dimensions and alignment and that the diameter of the respective knob opening on at least one partial circumferential area is smaller than the diameter of the knob base. The diameter and the construction of the knob base and of the knob opening in this partial circumferential area are coordinated such that the drawn piece come to rest on one another in the stack in a manner which is stable in terms of tilting.
