CLIENT: MAGNA SEATING, Novi

MAGNA PROJECT: 1

COMPLETE SEAT DESIGN PACKAGE FOR CHRYSLER RU PGM- FRONT AND REAR ROW SEAT

Work Description: Design and Development of Complete Seat for Chrysler RU PGM. This Minivan has the Stow ‘n Go seating is a technology that allows the back row seats in a minivan to be folded up and then folded down into the floorboards of the minivan. Stowing the seats can be done quickly and with very little effort making the back area of your minivan modular and adaptable. When not in use, the pockets in the floorboards can even be used for additional storage.

MAGNA PROJECT: 2 COMPLETE SEAT DESIGN PACKAGE FOR WK CHEROKEE JEEP

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF TRIM RING, BACK PANEL AND SIDE SHIELD COMPONENTS FOR FRONT ROW CHRYSLER WD/WK PGM (CHEROKEE)

Work Description: Trim Ring and Back panel are the plastic component which covers the Seat Back structure and Side shield which covers the recliner area of the seat structure. The WK PGM Chrysler seat has a DVD model mechanism; to incorporate this plastic component has been developed. Styling data received from the customer as input.

The main challenge to develop these models to accommodate all the B side attachment to assemble with the seat structure. The WK variant has power seats and motions and the challenge to develop these plastic components were exciting. Few cost reduction concepts designed and was appreciated by customer on these components. Also the transition of surface at different angles needed for zero deficiency was the next tougher side to achieve.
