摘要

The method involves bending an edge strip on each panel (1,2), placing the panels together and clamping and pressing them together between a support (7) and a pressure element (8). The panels only butt upon each other in the edge regions so as to maintain a degassing volume. An Independent claim is also included for a motor vehicle door or boot.
