Injectable structural adhesives, methods of using the same, and products formed therewith, are described. The adhesive is introduced through a first opening into an internal cavity formed between two or more components. The adhesive is then permitted or forced to flow through the internal cavity, substantially filling the cavity, until it reaches a second spaced opening. Any air contained within the internal cavity is removed by the flow of the adhesive.

An improved seating system that includes a seat back assembly () that is fabricated to include a seat back () with first and second wall portions (), and which may include an integrated reinforcement structure (). The seating system is capable of either or both of withstanding without rupture at least about 11000 Newtons in the direction in which the seat back () faces in a plane, parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle or, upon rapid acceleration up to at least about 20 g, substantially no fragmentation of the seat back with at least a 30 kg mass placed behind the seat back.
