Door Closing Apparatus
An apparatus to facilitate vehicle door closing includes a rack gear engaging a pinion gear that are connected between the door and a hinge pillar. A spring is operatively connected to the pinion gear stores energy during a portion of a door opening motion and releases the stored energy to bias the door to close. A damper operatively connects the spring and the door to limit the door closing speed during a portion of the door closing motion. A power cinching mechanism may be operatively coupled to the door closing apparatus to assist in the final closing motion of the door.
