ABSTRACT:
A structural inner-door panel for a door of a vehicle, such as a truck, has a body which is preferably monolithic and molded as a single piece of polymeric material. The body has a front side which faces towards the inside of the vehicle, and a back side opposite the front side. The body substantially spans the width of a truck door frame, and substantially spans the distance from the bottom of the door frame to the window opening. The body panel serves as a portion of the interior decor of the door without the need for additional structural support members other than the exterior metal panel of the door. The body front side is configured to have trim pieces and accessories attached thereto. The body may include an integral armrest, storage compartment, and a radio speaker well. The back side has a plurality of baffles projecting outwardly therefrom to provide strength and rigidity to the panel.
