“Automatically”

Hello Strands fans. Today’s puzzle will ask you to list the different parts of a car – except, inexplicably, the wheels.
But I didn’t understand this right away and needed a clue to get started. This clue revealed DOOR, so I realized it was the parts of each car, rather than the car brands (just as well, since I know very little about the vehicles.)
I found HOOD to his right, then TRUNK in the lower half. WINDSHIELD removed a lot of letters in the bottom left corner and freed up enough space for me to figure out the spangram. CARBODY was written backwards, from right to left, in the middle of the grid.
There were two answers left to find. I spotted GRILLE spelled backwards between HOOD and the spangram, and that just left BUMPER in the upper left corner to complete the puzzle.
