Abstract: A handle assembly for a vehicle door includes a backplate, operable to be mounted to a portion of the vehicle door, and the backplate including a recessed region displaced away from the exterior surface of the vehicle door. A handle aperture is provided within the recessed region of the backplate with at least one pin mount extending from the recessed region of the backplate. The pin mount includes a void and a slot that is narrower than the void. Pins extend from a handle body portion into the voids and pivotally mount the handle to the backplate. The handle further includes a spring locator retaining a handle spring prior to mounting the handle to the backplate. The spring is compressed between the handle and the backplate and biases the handle to an un-actuated position.

Abstract: An electromechanical strut and method of moving a closure member of a vehicle between an open position and a closed position is provided. The electromechanical strut includes a power drive unit including a motor, a leadscrew, a planetary gearset operably connecting the motor to the leadscrew, and an electromechanical brake assembly. The electromechanical strut further includes a telescoping unit including an extensible tube and a drive nut for converting rotary motion of the leadscrew into linear motion of the telescoping unit. The electromechanical brake assembly is selectively moveable between an engaged state, wherein the leadscrew is prevented from rotating to prevent relative axial movement between the power drive unit and the telescoping unit, and a disengaged state, wherein the leadscrew is permitted to rotate to allow relative axial movement between the power drive unit and the telescoping unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for alleviating window buffeting noise and associated vibrations along a rear window of an automotive vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a baffle received in a recess of a B-pillar. The B-pillar is located forward of the rear window, and the baffle is disposed vertically along the B-pillar. The baffle extends over at least a portion of the height of the opening to the rear window. An actuation mechanism moves the baffle outward of the B-pillar when the window is lowered to a predetermined lower position, such that the baffle deflects air flow and thus reduces window buffeting along the open window. The actuation mechanism also retracts the baffle back into the B-pillar when the window is raised to a predetermined raised position, at which window buffeting is no longer significant.
