Abstract

A method of adhesively bonding a first component to a second component, which comprises a peripheral zone with which the first component is adhesively bonded in overlapping manner is provided. In such method, a) at least one body of hot-melt adhesive is adhesively bonded to the first component in such a way that it comes into contact with the peripheral zone upon adhesive bonding of the first component to the second component, b) the peripheral zone is heated locally at at least one point, at which the applied body of hot-melt adhesive comes into contact with the peripheral zone upon adhesive bonding of the first component, indirectly or directly by electromagnetic induction to a temperature above the melting temperature of the hot-melt adhesive, c) the first component is brought into contact with the peripheral zone of the second component in such a way that the body of the hot-melt adhesive comes into contact with the point of the peripheral zone heated in step b), such that the hot-melt adhesive melts at the point of contact with the peripheral zone and bonds the first component to the peripheral zone of the second component after cooling. In addition, prior to step b) or after step c) a reactive adhesive is introduced in such a way between the first and the second component that it bonds the first component to the peripheral zone of the second component, the reactive adhesive being cured or allowed to cure.
