PURPOSE: To provide a vehicular panel assembly and method for making the same, especially adapted for use in vehicles. CONSTITUTION: A surface of the panel to receive a gasket 32 is primed using a material especially adapted to prepare the panel surface to bond with the gasket. The contour of a desired gasket 22 is molded with a polymer material separate from the panel. Following formation of the gasket, the panel is located thereon and pressed into intimate contact with the gasket for a prescribed period of time, the panel and attached gasket are removed as an assembly. Additional or optional steps are followed including preheating the panel and primed surface prior to bonding to shorten the cycle time and improve adhesion. Moreover, heat is applied to the contact boundary between the panel and gasket substantially simultaneously with the application of pressure. The steps of heating and applying pressure are repeated to insure proper adhesion. |
