Abstract

A door, particularly for a car, is a rigidified plastic unit. It comprises an integral plastic door inner part having a box-shaped lower part with an open side facing outwardly and having a window frame at the top thereof. There is a door outer part which is fitted over the open box-shaped inner part for closing off the same. Optionally, an H-shaped reinforcing element is disposed between the inner and outer parts, with two legs of the H extending partially through a U-shaped channel which shapes the upper part of the window frame. The window pane is part of the outer door part and may be integral therewith. An air duct may be defined in the door inner part or in the reinforcing element for blowing air over the window.
