ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus for assembling a wire harness, and then securing that wire harness to a vehicle trim panel includes the use of adhesive strips. The strips are placed in a welding station prior to the wire harness being assembled through the welding stations. Once the wire harness is fully assembled, the trim panel is placed above the jig. The welding stations are provided with structure to actuate the strips and secure the strips to the trim panel. The strips then capture and hold the wires on the trim panel. In this way, the wire harness may be directly attached to the trim panel after its assembly.
