摘要

A single-sided gasketed panel assembly (20) for use as a flush-mounted panel or window in vehicles, buildings, or other structures, as well as a method and apparatus for making such panel assemblies, wherein the panel assembly (20) comprises a sheet-like panel (22) having a primer layer (46) and at least one polymeric gasket (32) molded to the panel on the primer layer. The primer applied to the panel has a predetermined transition temperature above which improved adhesion properties are exhibited for polymeric gaskets (32) molded thereon when the primer is at or above such temperature.
