Abstract

The present car door has an interior panel forming simultaneously a frame, nd an exterior panel. Hinges and a lock base plate are secured to the frame. Two supporting rails are pivotally secured to the frame. One rail extends substantially horizontally between the upper hinge zone and the lock base plate. The other rail extends at an angle relative to the one rail from the lower hinge zone to the lock base plate. A cable which is expandable in a nonreversible manner extends at least along one of the rails, preferably along the horizontal rail. The cable has a loop at each end. A bolt which also journals the respective rail end to the frame extends through the respective loop of the cable.
