Abstract

A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a composite structure comprising a generally rigid structural substrate formed from a fiber panel and a cover. An exterior surface of the cover may comprise a generally soft material. The structural substrate may comprise a generally rigid panel. The cover may be molded on the substrate. The cover may comprise an injection molded thermoplastic, TPE, TPV or PU material. The cover may comprise a foam core with an integral skin. The cover may be formed with a blowing agent to produce a cellular structure for the cover. The cover may comprise an open cell foam. The cover may comprise a laminate of a thermoplastic elastomer on a foam layer. The component may comprise an instrument panel; dashboard; door panel; steering wheel; console; cockpit; knee bolster; or trim component. A method of manufacturing the component is disclosed.
