The door inner panel has an opening therein and the door components such as the window regulator and door handles are mounted on the module panel. A plurality of energy absorbing devices extended between the module panel and the door inner panel to effectively mount the module panel within the opening of the door inner panel. The energy absorbing devices yield upon the imposition of an occupant thereagainst to enable energy absorbing movement of the module panel and the door components into the cavity space between the inner and outer panels. The energy absorbing devices are preferably comprised of stamped steel straps having convolutions therein with one end of the strap welded to the module panel and the other end bolted to the door inner panel.
