Claim:
A door for a vehicle and a jig temporarily used to position a bracket with reference to a beam body of the door, the door comprising: an inner panel; an outer panel, fixed to the inner panel, disposed outside the inner panel with respect to the vehicle; a door beam between the inner panel and the outer panel, the door beam being fixed to the inner panel, the door beam comprising the beam body having a front end at one end and a rear end at the other end, and a circular ring shape on a cross section thereof; a vibration damping member; and the bracket, which is fixable to the door beam and extends from the door beam toward the outer panel, said bracket including: a bracket fixing part configured to fix the bracket to the beam body at one end of the bracket; a connecting part at the other end of the bracket opposite to the fixing part protruding toward the outer panel, the connecting part having an arc that is a part of a circle on cross section thereof, the circle having a center and the connecting part extending along an axis on the center in parallel to an axis of the door beam; and an elongated hole therein, having an opening extending from a side of the door beam toward the outer panel, configured to determine a position of the bracket relative to the beam body in a longitudinal direction of the beam body wherein the bracket is connectable at the connecting part to the outer panel through the vibration damping member; wherein the elongated hole allows a reference pin of the jig to penetrate therethrough to determine the position of the bracket relative to the beam body in the longitudinal direction of the beam body with clearances between the elongated hole and the reference pin in a longitudinal direction of the elongated hole, the jig comprising a base configured to allow the beam body to be placed thereon, a positioning pin configured to control at least one of positions of the front end and the rear end while the beam body is placed on the base to fix the bracket to the beam body, and the reference pin.
