An overlap adhesive joint including mutually overlapping first and second plate parts (5, 7), particularly sheet metal parts and especially vehicle body panel parts, and an intermediate adhesive layer (9), the joint preferably being a joggled joint. The plate parts are also mechanically locked relative each other by tongues (17) projecting from the first plate part (7) extending through apertures (19) made in the second plate part (5) so that peeling strength and shear strength are improved. |
