- This is a specification for a car door made of polyurethane plastics with the following features:
- Door body of GF/PU combined with an integrated metal support.
- The outside door panel from the waist line down to the bottom edge of the door is fixed to the door body with an adhesive-bonded joint.
- A metal support designed as a stiffening frame and a supporting element for fittings.
- Permanently bonded, form-fitting window combined with multi-purpose window that can be lowered.
The costs show that this concept is able to compete with conventional metal solutions.
