Abstract
A panel assembly that includes a main panel, a sound-damping patch, a sound-damping adhesive layer, and a structural adhesive joint. The structural adhesive joint may be used in place of spot welds, clinched joints or other metal joining mechanisms that would prohibit the panel assembly from being used in certain applications, such as class A surfaces on a vehicle that can be seen or touched by a customer.
