Abstract

A vehicle door consists of a base, a cover facing the passenger compartment and an outside door leaf joined to the base and cover. Connection of the outside door leaf to the base and cover is arranged to provide easy removal and replacement of the door leaf. The door leaf has peripheral edges releasably connected to the base and cover. Moreover, at least one pair of corresponding edges in the cover and door leaf comprise grooves located in the plane of the door and opening toward one another. A joining and sealing resilient profile strip is positioned in the grooves to compensate for differences in thermal expansion.
