Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle door (1) and to a method for the production thereof. The vehicle door comprises a supporting frame (11) with an opening (2). The supporting frame is joined to a body structure of the vehicle in a manner that permits it to move. The opening (2) is closed in an essentially moisture-proof manner by molding it with a curable compound while forming a supporting plate (10) for accommodating elements such as window lifters, loudspeakers (3) or the like. At least one guide rail for guiding a window pane (9), which can be displaced relative to the supporting frame, is provided for accommodating a lateral edge of the window pane in the supporting plate.
