ABSTRACT:
A lateral edge of an automobile door is provided with a reinforcing section to which a hook is bolted. A section of the hook in the closed position of door is associated with a groove-shaped recess formed in a pillar. The free end of the hook section lays roughly in the plane of the facing exterior of pillar. With a force directed against the vehicle door, the free end of hook section slides over the exterior of the pillar with a high frictional effect, so that a bead-shaped elevation results and the depth of penetration of the door into the vehicle interior is considerably reduced.
