DESCRIPTION

The door features a particularly sturdy and resistant structure to compensate the absence of the upper glass restrainer frame. Two anti-intrusion bars and the generous size of the underdoor sidemember offer a high level of protection against side shocks.

The accurate design of the door "surround" seals and the presence of a lock striker (two for the Spider) ensure safe and precise mating between the door and the body.

The window winding device has been newly designed. The electric motor controls a rack and pinion coupling. The rack and pinion which accomplishes an arc of circumference trajectory and is connected to a jointed system which allows a purely translating motion of the lower rod to which the glass is fixed.

The window stroke is controlled by two vertical guides which are adjustable crosswise and house the vertical mechanical stopper, which is also adjustable.

Also the mating position between the sliding pads along the guides and the stay brackets on the glass is adjustable.

The glass runs on the outside of the guides and the stay brackets are retained on the glass.

Access can be gained to the guide adjustment screws without having to remove the door panel.
