ABSTRACT:
A functional door cartridge for use in a motor vehicle door assembly is disclosed. The cartridge consists of a skeleton frame forming the general outline of a door. A portion of the frame also serves as glass guides for the window glass. Another portion of the frame serves as a guide for the window regulator lift plate. All moving components of the door assembly such as the window, door latch, window regulator, interior and exterior door handles and latch rods are mounted to the functional door cartridge which can be assembled in a horizontal position rather than the typical upright position used to assemble doors. After assembly, all functions of the door are fully tested before the door cartridge is inserted into an exterior door panel to complete the door assembly. In one embodiment the cartridge is pivoted about mounting studs to facilitate proper alignment with the door panel.
