Though I wasn't able to use "umbrella parts", I awarded three points for your good effort. Thank you all for your help! The issue here was "Hut-Teile" (which are different for different products) that are combined with "Plattform-Teile" (the "Plattform" is common to all products in the family) when a "platform strategy" is used in manufacturing(as by Nissan). The next more advanced strategy level is modularization. [I didn't know this either, but I'm learning. :-) ]

Umbrella parts


Explanation:
Vesna is just as close as possible.
I think the expression comes from the phrase :"Alles unter einen Hut bringen", and in English umbrella is used in place of Hut in the equivalent phrase.
Good luck

Top covers / Cover parts


Explanation:
"Umbrella" is used figuratively rather than describing a physical product (except in its original meaning, of course), e.g. "under the umbrella of an association". If it concerns furniture as implied, the given translation would be correct
