Abstract:
A roof assembly for a vehicle that includes a center roof panel made from a lightweight material like aluminum, a surrounding attachment flange made from a more formable and stronger material like steel, and a junction that connects the roof panel and the attachment flange together. The aluminum-based roof panel may reduce the overall weight of the assembly, while the steel-based attachment flange may improve its metal forming and attachment capabilities.
