ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, apertures are stamped in the outer flange of the vehicle body and a plurality of depressions are stamped into the inner panel of the vehicle body at a spacing corresponding with the spacing of the apertures of the outer panel. The panels are welded together with the outer panel flange overlying the inner panel flange and the plurality of apertures communicating with the plurality of depressions. The adhesive is applied and flows through the aperture and into the depressions. When the adhesive cures, the bead of adhesive has both an adhesive connection to the outer flange and also a mechanical connection with the inner and outer panels by virtue of having flowed into the depressions.
