A vehicle joint assembly may include a lower housing, an upper housing, an expandable material, first and second vehicle components, and a fastener. The lower housing may define a first cavity. The upper housing may define a second cavity and may be sized for partial disposal within the lower housing. The expandable material may be disposed within the second cavity. The first and second vehicle components may each include contact surfaces. The fastener may extend through through-holes defined by the lower and upper housings to secure the first and second vehicle components to one another. Subjecting the expandable material to heat may move the upper housing to contact one of the contact surfaces. The expandable material may be configured to expand when subjected to heat from a paint oven of a vehicle assembly process.
