摘要:
An interior trim assembly comprises a substrate member forming at least a part of the structural support of the trim assembly and having a front surface adapted to face the interior of the automobile and a back surface adapted to face opposite the front surface. The substrate member includes a connecting member integrally molded with the substrate member and having an aperture formed therethrough. A grommet is integrally molded in the aperture. Preferably, the substrate member has a hardness and the grommet has a hardness that is relatively lower than the hardness of the substrate member. A two-shot molding process may be used to make the trim assembly with the substrate member and connecting member being formed in the first shot and the grommet being formed in the second shot.

A method for producing a two-shot polymeric component having one shot wrapped around an edge of the other shot, includes injection molding a first portion having first and second opposing sides and an edge adjacent the first and second sides. A second portion is injection molded such that some of the second portion contacts the first side of the first portion, some of the second portion contacts the second side of the first portion, and some of the second portion contacts the edge. The second portion forms a unitary structure wrapping around the edge of the first portion.

A method of manufacturing a vehicle trim panel having a storage compartment includes providing a first mold assembly comprising a first mold section and a second mold section, wherein the first mold assembly defines a first cavity. A second mold assembly is provided and comprises a third mold section and a fourth mold section. The second mold assembly defines a second cavity. A first material is introduced into the first cavity, thereby producing a substrate. A second material is introduced into the second cavity, such that the second material forms a movable wall. The substrate and the movable wall define a vehicle trim panel, wherein the movable wall includes a fold formed therein for permitting movement of the movable wall to expand the storage compartment.

A method for producing a vehicle trim component including a two-shot polymeric closeout panel and a substrate having at least one opening therein is provided. A first portion of the closeout panel is injection molded. The first portion includes at least one cavity forming structure that is configured to cooperate with a corresponding opening in the substrate. This forms a corresponding cavity that is accessible through the substrate. A second portion of the closeout panel is injection molded, and covers at least some of the at least one cavity forming structure.
