Abstract
The invention relates to a method for joining a first and second planar part each having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein in a first step a lowered area is provided at two joining regions of the planar parts, which joining regions face each other, wherein the lowered areas are shaped in such a way that the level of the outer surface in the region of said lowered areas lies below the level of the outer surface of the adjacent regions of the planar parts; wherein in a further step the two planar parts are positioned in relation to each other, while an adhesive is used, in such a way that the two lowered areas form a recess, wherein either one joining region overlaps the other joining region and the adhesive is provided directly between the overlapping joining regions or a joining aid is used, which at least partially overlaps the joining regions of the planar parts, wherein the adhesive is provided between each joining region of the two planar parts and the joining aid; wherein in a further step a mechanical joint is installed in the region of the recess between the joining regions or, if a joining aid is used, between the joining regions and the joining aid in order to…
