<p>Latch assembly for a vehicle door 10 (FIG.1) hinged at its leading edge has an L-shaped housing plate 20 to be secured in the trailing inside edge corner of the door and carrying latch mechanism. Inner skin 14 of the door is cut away to admit a striker 18 into a mouth of the plate for engagement by the mechanism to keep the door shut. A projecting abutment rib 28 of the plate adjacent the mouth prevents or resists rearward displacement of the trailing edge of skin 14 which could otherwise obstruct the mouth in the event of impact damage to the door. <IMAGE></p> |
