- Inner panel
- outer panel
- Hinge and its reinforcement
- Wiper motor reinforcement
- Latch & stricker and its reinforcement
- Gas stay reinforcement
Components to be designed:
1) Outer panel
It is the outer styling skin surface of the back door. It is provided with multistage coatings which have the property of scratch resistance, rust prevention, etc. It is wrapped around the inner panel through the hemming process.
Inner Panel
The inner panel is one of the most important components of the backdoor assembly. It provides strength and helps in the dissipation of forces outside the part with the help of embosses made on it.
Hinge and its reinforcement
Wiper motor reinforcement
Latch & stricker and its reinforcement
Gas stay reinforcement
