<p>A door seal interface structure (12) for a motor vehicle space frame (10) includes a longitudinally extending hydroformed tubular rail portion (14), a hydroformed tubular pillar portion (26) connected at a joint to the rail portion and a transition structure. The rail portion and the pillar portion provide respective surface portions constructed and arranged to sealingly engage a door seal to seal a peripheral portion of a closed vehicle door. The pillar and rail surface portions are angularly related to one another in the vicinity of the joint. The transition structure is mounted on the rail portion and the pillar portion in the vicinity of the joint and provides a transition surface (12a, 12b) that provides a transition between the pillar and rail surfaces of the pillar and rail portions, the transition surface portion being constructed and arranged to sealingly engage a portion of the door seal to seal the closed vehicle door and thereby provide a door seal-engageable surface in the vicinity of the joint.</p> |
