An assembly of subassemblies having a mating bond interface for a motor vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a first subassembly of molded composite material and a second subassembly of molded composite material. An adjustable mating interface couples the subassemblies together. The interface includes a groove and a flange disposed on the first subassembly and bonded within the groove. The groove is sized and shaped relative to the size and shape of the flange to allow a bonding position of the flange within the groove to be adjusted during assembly of the subassemblies so that the mating interface is adjustable.

An assembly of mating subassemblies having dimensional control features for a motor vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a composite molded first subassembly having a first set of molded-in dimensional control features. The assembly also includes an injection molded second subassembly having a second set of molded-in dimensional control features. The first and second sets of dimensional control features are integrally formed on their respective subassemblies to permit contact between the first and second sets of control features when the subassemblies are assembled together.

An assembly for a motor vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a plastic molded part having an exterior surface and a low load region adapted to accommodate a low load. The low load region is formed using thin wall injection molding (TWIM) technology. The assembly also includes at least one load bearing spacer adapted to accommodate a high load that is greater than the low load. The spacer is configured to extend along a load path to accommodate and forward a load on a top portion of the part to a bottom portion of the part.

An assembly having a molded-in retainer cage for fastening the assembly on a motor vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a composite molded component including a first set of plies of fiber reinforced composite material. The component has a molded-in retainer cage which includes a second set of plies of fiber reinforced composite material. The cage has a hole extending completely therethrough to communicate an interior of the cage with an exterior of the cage. The assembly also includes a fastener molded in the interior of the cage. The cage is molded around and retains the fastener. The hole in the cage allows the fastener to be joined with another fastener to join the assembly to a supporting component.
