ABSTRACT:
A closure for a hole in a panel, such as a body panel in an automotive vehicle, is provided. The closure includes a plate with dimensions which are complementary to the hole. A gasket member is secured to the top of the plate. The plate includes means to secure the plate to the body panel. The gasket has dimensions which are somewhat larger than the hole, so that the gasket overlies the panel defining the hole, as well as the plate. The gasket has a first or bottom side low melt layer and a second or top side copolymer layer. The total thickness of the gasket ranges from about 0.0030 inch to about 0.0065 inch. Upon exposure to elevated temperatures during baking, the gasket melts over the plate and adheres to the panel to cause a seal between the plate and the panel.
