Abstract
A vehicle door includes a hollow box section, a window glass module projecting from the hollow box section, and a cable harness near the region where the window glass module exits from the hollow box section. A sub-assembly including the window glass module and a window regulator is introduced inside the hollow box section through an opening. The cable harness powers electrical components (such as a window regulator inside the door) and can then be introduced into the hollow box section through the opening without forming a supplementary opening through the door edge and require the operator to work blindly. The cable harness connects to the electrical components of the door more simply and less expensively.
