Abstract
A stiffening panel for a motor vehicle door, for example a side door. The stiffening panel is arranged between a structure of the door, which structure can be made of plastic, located on a side of a passenger compartment of the vehicle and configured to absorb majority of external impacts on the door, in particular front and side impacts on the side door, and at least one decorative outer panel which can be made of plastic and mounted on the structure. The stiffening panel can be made from a plastic material and stiffen the decorative outer panel to enable the outer panel to withstand external impacts on the door from the opposite side of the passenger compartment. The stiffening panel includes mounting elements for a window lift system. The stiffening panel is arranged between the decorative outer panel and a window supported by the window lift system mounted on the stiffening panel.
