Abstract
A door structure for a vehicle includes an outer module including an inner panel and an outer panel connected to the inner panel. The inner panel has an opening defined in part by first and second edges having a distance L1 therebetween. The door structure also includes a regulator module having an inner frame which is fixed to the inner panel, a regulator fixed to the inner frame, and a window panel fixed to the regulator and being movable by the regulator between first and second positions. The window panel has a maximum width L2, an edge sloped relative to a horizontal plane and a corner opposite from the sloped edge such that a distance L3 between the corner and the sloped edge, as measured along an imaginary line intersecting the sloped edge at a right angle, is less than L1, and L2 is greater than L1. A method for assembling the door structure includes rotating the regulator module so that it may pass between the first and second edges.
