The polymeric part has a peripheral edge and is disposed and secured in the recess so as to have the peripheral edge thereof supported by the peripheral flange arrangement of the metallic part. The metallic part comprises a stamping that has a generally L-shaped cross-sectional configuration that defines two legs thereof being disposed at an angle relative to each other, each leg having opposed ends and an outer free end extending between the opposed ends thereof. Each end of each leg has a part of the peripheral flange arrangement bent therefrom and being spaced from adjacent parts of the peripheral flange arrangement.
