Reinforcement Profiles

The reinforcement profiles in doors and in side structures serve to stiffen the passenger cell and also for increasing the lateral collision safety. The warping or even tearing of the steel sheet will be restrained as best possible in the event of an impact due to stress distribution.

Furthermore, the reinforcing profiles support the damping of vibrations and noise.
