ABSTRACT:
A structural reinforcement for a vehicle door has an energy absorbing tubular bar, a first bracket, and a second bracket. The tubular bar extends substantially across a length of the vehicle door approximately parallel to a lower edge of the door. The tubular bar has a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis passing through the first end and the second end. The first bracket retains the first end of the tubular bar such that there is a predetermined amount of rotational float between the first bracket and the first end of the bar. The second bracket has a seat portion receiving and fixed to the second end of the bar.
