Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of molding a motor vehicle part, the motor vehicle part being made from thermosetting plastic material and including at least one metal insert having a shape allowing it to extend substantially through the entire thickness of the motor vehicle part, the method being characterized in that it includes the following steps placing the metal insert and the thermosetting plastic material in a mold, and molding the motor vehicle part comprising the overmolded metal insert, the metal insert being deformed at least at one mechanical weakening zone by closing the mold for molding the motor vehicle part.
Claims15
A metal insert for a motor vehicle part of a motor vehicle body panel, comprising:
- at least one mechanical weakening zone arranged as part of the metal insert, wherein the at least one mechanical weakening zone of the metal insert is adapted to deform in a mold under a stress thereby elongating the metal insert lengthwise, wherein the motor vehicle part is made of a thermosetting plastic material.
A metal insert for a motor vehicle part of a motor vehicle body panel, comprising:
- at least one mechanical weakening zone arranged as part of the metal insert, wherein the at least one mechanical weakening zone of the metal insert is adapted to deform in a mold under a stress to reduce a height of the metal insert, wherein the motor vehicle part is made of a thermosetting plastic material.
