Abstract
In an assembly of a bodywork part and a headlight glass for a motor vehicle that cooperate by elastic deformation, the headlight glass has an outline designed to be engaged in an opening in the bodywork part. The opening is defined by an outline in the bodywork part that is substantially complementary to the outline of the headlight glass. At least part of the outline of the bodywork part cooperates with the outline of the headlight glass by elastic deformation.
Claims11
An assembly of a bodywork part and a headlight glass for a motor vehicle, wherein the bodywork part has an opening and is positioned around the headlight glass, the headlight glass has an outline engaged at least in part in the opening in the bodywork part, the opening being defined by an outline in the bodywork part that is substantially complementary, at least in part, to the outline of the headlight glass, and at least part of the outline of the bodywork part is elastically deformed to be complementary with the outline of the headlight glass.
A method of assembling a bodywork part and a headlight glass for a motor vehicle, in which method the headlight glass has an outline for engaging at least in part in an opening in the bodywork part that is defined by an outline in the bodywork part that is substantially complementary, at least in part, to the outline of the headlight glass, during which method, in order to assemble the headlight glass with the bodywork part, the opening in the bodywork part is enlarged by being deformed elastically, the opening continuing to be elastically deformed once the bodywork part and the headlight glass have been assembled together.
