Abstract
A side door assembly is provided which includes a catch and striker reinforcement mechanism positioned between the free-edge of the door of the adjacent body panel of the vehicle. The striker cooperates with the catch to enhance engagement in response to the imposition of laterally imposed loads through providing a disc-like knob for engagement with catch plate upon deflection of adjacent body panels.
