Abstract
In a vehicle door with a basic body in the form of a body-in-white that includes the exterior sheet metal, internal trim, and a partial area within this interior trim with functional parts that are visible and/or operable from the vehicle interior, the partial area must be installed with high dimensional accuracy. For this purpose, the partial area is formed by an insert part that is permanently attached to the body-in-white and the interior trim, is separate from, and has a reinforcing effect relative to the remaining area of the door interior trim.
