INDUSTRY NEWSArvinMeritor Showcases Multi-Panel Roof SystemFRANKFURT, GERMANY (Sept. 15, 2007) - ArvinMeritor Inc. is showcasing its new convertible-like, large-opening multi-panel roof system, installed in both a Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7 at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. The adaptable modular roof system allows OEMs more styling options from the same basic body-in-white.  The system can accommodate a choice of glass panel configurations from a simple, one-panel layout to a complex system featuring multiple moveable panels. To minimize buffeting and noise in the cabin, a side-guided roller blind or a glass wind deflector can be incorporated. To improve flexibility for the OEM's assembly methods, the large-opening multi-panel roof system can be either top- or bottom-loaded, and can be incorporated into ArvinMeritor's innovative long-fiber injection roof module allowing for extensive integration of other components such as roof-rack fixings, antennae, roof beams and interior headlining components. "Through the versatility of this product, ArvinMeritor provides a tangible market benefit to OEMs who are responding to the growing demand for more lifestyle characteristics from their vehicles," said Theo Timmerman, vice president and general manager, Roof Systems, within ArvinMeritor's Light Vehicle Systems business group. "The end result is an amazing driving experience without sacrifices to noise, styling or comfort."(Source: ArvinMeritor Inc.)
