Frameless and transparent vehicle door

A door (10) for a motor vehicle comprises a frameless single pane of transparent material pivoted at one edge on a pillar (14) of the motor vehicle. The pivot (12) comprises two hinges (12a,12b) affixed to the pane and a reinforcing member (12c) extending generally parallel to the pivot axis and interconnecting the wings of the hinges that are affixed to the pane. The reinforcing member (12c) is arranged in line with the pillar (14) on which the door (10) is mounted, when viewed from the position of the driver of the vehicle, so as to minimise obstruction of the field of view of the driver. In another aspect of the invention, the surfaces (12e) on the hinges (12a,12b) that mate with the pane are machined to match the contours of the pane while the reinforcing member (12c) and the hinges (12a,12b) are in one piece.
