Dual function adjustable bumper for automotive vehicle sliding door

摘要

A door bumper assembly (38) for an automotive vehicle sliding door (12) has an adjustable bumper head (60) with a door face for mating with a door inner surface when the door (12) is in a closed position to provide a predetermined lateral load to the door. A bumper base (42) is mounted between the bumper head (60) and a vehicle body surface at a rearward end of a door track and has a hinge face (46) for contacting a door hinge to prevent door rearward longitudinal movement when the door is moved to a fully open position. A bolt (56) threaded on both ends (58,72) is attached on a first end (58) to the bumper head (60) to allow lateral adjustment with respect to the bumper base (40), and passes through the bumper base (42) for attachment on a second end to a vehicle body portion.
