Abstract

See full text

A method for injection molding a pair of end muckets to a previously injection molded panel and prior to attaching a separately formed seal. The method includes the step of initially forming a vehicle panel from a first material in a closed cavity, following which a second stage injection molding process forms a pair of end muckets onto the panel. The separately formed seal exhibits an elongated profile and is inter-fitted between the end muckets, concurrent with being affixed to an extending surface of the panel, and to provide interface support between the seating ends of the seal and the adjoining vehicle fenders. Additional steps include injection molding a first plasticized materials into a closed cavity configuration established between assembled mold halves in order to initially mold the panel, following which a second plasticized material molds the end muckets along with additional wiper and windshield seals.
