Method for assembling sealing element at e.g. door panel, involves engaging engagement hook to sealing element into counter-contour of body, and generating breaking noise when element reaches end position of locking hook in counter-contour

摘要

The method involves engaging an engagement hook (3) to a firmly connected sealing element (1) into an incorporating shaft-shaped complementary counter-contour of a base body (2). Breaking noise is generated when the sealing element reaches an end position of a locking hook in the counter-contour. The breaking noise is increased by high stiffness of a fiber-reinforced plastic material of the counter-contour during sudden discharge. A recess (6) and a cavity are formed inside the counter-contour. An acoustic signal is used to inform an assembler about a correct position of a snap hook.
