Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method is disclosed for bonding a fiber reinforced plastic automotive body member to a reinforcement member. An adhesive is located between mating surfaces of the body member and the reinforcement member. Pressurized heated and cool air is used to heat and facilitate the cooling of the adhesive. The apparatus includes a switchable heating and cooling system that first provides pressurized heated air about outer surfaces of the body member and the reinforcement member, and thereafter, the system provides pressurized cool air about the same outer surfaces.
