Abstract
A sealed edge joint can be formed between two metal panels such as an outer vehicle door panel and an inner door panel, by using a flowable sealant bead between the facing surfaces of the two panels, and a thin film of uncured paint-like resin between a flange on the outer panel and the exposed surface of the inner panel. The paint film is cured to a solid impervious condition by a baking operation performed on the completed door panel assembly.
