    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an add-on unit made up of car body sheets, the add-on unit having at least two overlapping sheets, in which one edge area of a first sheet is folded over an edge area of a second sheet. In order to enable direct assembly of the add-on unit into the body-in-white, after the folding process, the edge areas of the sheets are joined together in sections by applying heat on one side. In addition an add-on unit is manufactured using this method.
