  "textContent": "The invention relates to a structural component for a motor vehicle, comprising first and second profiled sheet metal parts (101, 102) joined together by welding spots, which sheet metal parts (101, 102) have opposing free ends (103, 104) arranged to be mating to form an overlapping portion (100) over a predetermined distance. A cross-section of the component through the overlapping portion (100) has a hat shape comprises first and second edge portions (111, 112; 121, 122) extending in the longitudinal direction of the component; first and second side portions (113, 114; 123, 124) arranged to join a respective edge portion; and a central portion (115; 125) arranged to join the side portions (113, 114; 123, 124). The free end of the central portion (115; 125) of each sheet metal part comprises at least two tabs (116, 117; 126, 127) separated by a recess, and that the tabs (116, 117; 126, 127) of the first and second sheet metal parts (101, 102) are joined to a part of an adjacent central portion (115; 125) by welding. The invention further relates to a method for making the component.",
