Abstract

A unit carrier for fitting into a door structure of a motor vehicle door, on which functional components of the motor vehicle door may be premounted, so that the unit carrier, together with the functional components, may be fitted as a door module into the door structure, includes a surface of the unit carrier on the door structure side and fastening elements provided on the unit carrier. The fastening elements protrude from the surface of the unit carrier on the door structure side and engage in associated fastening points of the door structure, when the unit carrier is fitted into the door structure. The fastening elements are retained in a mounted position on the unit carrier before fitting the unit carrier into the door structure such that they do not protrude from the surface of the unit carrier on the door structure side.
