Abstract
A plastics member (16) is sealingly secured to a sheet metal member (10) by creating in the sheet metal member (10) an opening which is defined by a free edge (14) of the sheet metal, forming-up a marginal region (12) of the sheet metal member (10) around the location of the opening, receiving the plastics member (16) in the opening, and re-forming the marginal region (12) so as to close the opening onto the plastics member (16) and cause the free edge (14) to bite into and seal around the plastics member (16).
