Abstract: A composite liftgate structure that is strengthened using a metal hybrid reinforcement. The metal hybrid reinforcement is connected to the perimeter surface area of an inner panel. Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a swing door having an internal tubular frame for providing attachment of hinges and latches to the door and at least one inner or outer panel for attaching to the frame.

Abstract: A liftgate assembly having finished show surfaces, and process of manufacturing same. The liftgate assembly includes local reinforcements that are overmolded to first reinforcements, and the first reinforcements are infrared welding to a first panel. Second and third reinforcements are also infrared welded to the first panel. To infrared weld the respective reinforcements to the first panel in predetermined locations with respect to the first panel, nesting structures are provided to hold the respective reinforcements and first panel. At least one infrared heating fixture heats various predetermined surfaces on the reinforcements and first panel, and the parts are then pressed together for joining the predetermined surfaces of the respective parts together. The process is repeated, if needed, until all of the reinforcements are infrared welded to the first panel. Outer panels are bonded to the second and third reinforcements.
