A method for producing a multi-component part (200) of a vehicle includes inserting an air-guiding device (10) having at least one contact portion (40) into a cavity (310) of a tool (300). The method then includes heating a composite part (100) having at least one mating contact portion (140) to a melting point of at least one material of the composite part (100), and heating the contact portion (40) of the air-guiding device (10) to a melting point of at least one material of the contact portion (40). The method further includes inserting the heated composite part (100) into the cavity (310) of the tool (300) and pressing the heated composite part (100) into a geometry of the part while simultaneously forming an integrally bonded connection between the mating contact portion (140) of the composite part (100) and the contact portion (40) of the air-guiding device (10).

A one-piece linkage assembly (20) includes a linkage base (120, 122, 22) for securement to a structure and a linkage follower (124, 24) fixed to the linkage base (120, 122, 22) with a stainless steel first pivot pin in a hinged configuration. The linkage base (120, 122, 22) and the linkage follower (124, 24) each are made of a molded material, such as plastic, and are formed together with the first metal pivot pin (126, 130, 132, 136, 26, 32, 36) insert molded there between. A linkage coupler (130, 30) and a linkage drive (134, 34) are similarly pivotably secured to the linkage follower (124, 24) in a chained configuration and are also made of the molded material and are formed together with the linkage base (120, 122, 22) and the linkage follower (124, 24), with additional stainless steel pivot pins insert molded between the linkage follower (124, 24) and the linkage coupler (130, 30) and between the linkage coupler (130, 30) and the linkage drive (134, 34). Compression limiters (146, 46) are also insert molded within a flat portion (142, 42) of the linkage base (120, 122, 22).

The invention relates a process for the preparation of a bonded structure (4) comprising at least a first plastic part (1) having a first bonding surface (1a), said process comprising the step of a) treating at least part of a first bonding surface of said first plastic part with a flame of a propane-comprising gas, said propane-comprising gas being propane or a mixture comprising at least 50 wt. % of propane based on the weight of the propane-comprising gas with one or more gases selected from the group consisting of methane, ethane, butane, pentane, and hexane, wherein, during treatment with a flame of the propane-comprising gas, a flame is produced by burning a mixture of air and the propane-comprising gas, wherein the gas-to-air ratio is chosen such that the propane gas to oxygen volume ratio is equal to or less than 1:5.01, for example less than 1:5.00 and preferably at least 3.50 to obtain a first plastic part having a flame-treated first bonding surface.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle spoiler, and more particularly, a vehicle spoiler with improved adhesive strength between a fixing member and a spoiler body due to a structure of the fixing member which is provided with an adhesive surface surface-treated in an embo shape and a protrusion formed to protrude at a predetermined height in a vertical direction of the adhesive surface, and a manufacturing method thereof. The vehicle spoiler includes a spoiler body installed in a vehicle trunk in a width direction and formed in a plate shape, a fixing member which is coupled to a lower surface of the spoiler body in a vertical direction and which includes an adhesive surface having one surface undergoing surface treatment and a protrusion formed to protrude at a predetermined height in a vertical direction of the adhesive surface, and an adhesive applied to the adhesive surface of the fixing member.
