A vehicle structure assembly, including: a first component (10) including a hem structure (20) defining an internal space disposed along an outer edge (22) thereof; and a second component (14a) including one of an outer edge (28) and a corresponding hem structure defining a corresponding internal space, wherein the one of the outer edge (28) and the corresponding hem structure defining the corresponding internal space of the second component (14a) is adapted to securely engage the hem structure (20) defining the internal space of the first component (10), thereby joining the second component (14a) to the first component (10). The first component (10) includes a planar body portion (16) and the hem structure (20) includes a retaining arm or flap structure (30) disposed substantially parallel to the planar body portion (16), wherein the retaining arm or flap structure (30) and the planar body portion (16) are integrally formed and collectively define the internal space.
