摘要

The method involves joining the two parts (14, 16) using an adhesive (28) and by reshaping them in the region of a reshaping point (22) using a stamp element (18). It first involves applying a force with the stamp element with which the parts are brought into contact by displacing at least most of the adhesive and then reshaping the parts with the stamp element. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for making a clinched connection.
