A plastic air intake assembly comprising, for example, upper and lower housing members with the upper member underside and the lower member upper side having a continuous 3-dimensional perimeter mating surface. The upper member mating surface being formed with a chamfered-shape in cross-section and the lower member mating surface being formed with a complementary chamfered-shape in cross-section. The mating surfaces are bonded together in an overlapping flush manner by suitable means, such as heat-cured adhesive, forming a continuous sealed scarf joint parting-line having a low profile with the mating surfaces lying in generally parallel planes with their associated housing wall portions.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A plastic automotive air intake assembly comprising:first and second housing members, the first member having a continuous 3-dimensional perimeter mating surface on its underside and the second member having a continuous 3-dimensional perimeter mating surface on its upper side;each first and second member mating surface having a chamfered-shape in cross-section, with the mating surfaces being oriented in complementary opposed relation to each other; andthe first member mating surface being in overlapping flush contact with the second member mating surface with bonding means between the mating surfaces, whereby the mating surfaces are secured in a continuous sealed scarf joint defining an assembly parting-line between the housing members.
