| 1. Process for producing a compound motor vehicle component with an outside skin formed of a finished surface component, an
inside layer and a spacer part, the spacer part being a honeycomb structural part which contains hollow chambers that have
open ends at sides thereof facing the finished surface component, and a glass fiber mat and which is located between the outside
skin and the inside layer and is connected to them, comprising the steps of:
inserting the finished surface component into a first half of a molding tool,
inserting the glass fiber mat into a second half of the molding tool,
applying a liquid adhesive layer to the glass fiber mat in second mold half and to the surface-finished component in a first
mold half,
inserting the spacer part between the adhesive layers while the adhesive layers are still liquid, and
closing the a first and second mold halves so as to press the compound motor vehicle component into its final shape and so
as to diffuse the adhesive into the open ends of the hollow chambers of the spacer part, and
setting the adhesive.
