Roof and Trunk Panel - Hinge and Prop - Project Planning

Roof Hinge

• Conduct further analysis on feasibility four bar linkage hinge

• If needed revisit some other hinge designs and conduct feasibility analysis

Roof Prop

• Research methods into ways we can ensure the inner rod will not slide out from the outer rod

• Conduct hand calculations and preliminary FEA to ensure roof prop can endure loading

Bracket - Prop to Chassis

Concepting done

research and work for the mechanical design of the bracket and the adhesive design onto the panel
