Abstract
An automotive door module has a plastic support panel and a plurality of door hardware components mounted thereon as a preassembled unit. The plastic support panel has forward and rearward pairs of upper and lower integrally molded stand-offs that secure forward and rearward rolled section guide rails of a cable operated window regulator without any intervening brackets. The plastic support panel also has an integrally molded handle bracket that rotatably supports a handle that operates a push-pull cable. The plastic support panel also includes an integrally molded bumper stop support that extends from the lower stand-off of one of the pairs of stand-offs through a hole in the guide rail secured to it and supports an annular bumper.
