Method and arrangement for providing a panel-shaped component ( 4 ) such as a door, hatch, hood, cover plate, panel or the like, the panel-shaped component ( 4 ) including a first panel element ( 4 a) and a second panel element ( 4 b). The method involves joining together the first panel element ( 4 a) and the second panel element ( 4 b) through the following steps: the fitting of the first panel element ( 4 a) in relation to the second panel element ( 4 b) so that the second panel element ( 4 b) protrudes at least partially beyond the periphery of the first panel element ( 4 a) and herein forms a protruding seam ( 5 ), the folding over of the seam ( 5 ) over the first panel element ( 4 a), and the forming of dimples ( 7 ) at predetermined positions along the seam ( 5 ) so that the dimples ( 7 ) penetrated into the material of the first panel element ( 4 a). The invention also relates to a body component. The invention offers an improved method for manufacturing, for example, a hatch, hood or plate which can be utilized in, for example, motor vehicles. |
