ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel (2) includes a surface-side molded panel member (3) made of a synthetic resin and a back-side molded panel member (4) made of a synthetic resin. The back-side molded panel member (4) is vibration-welded to the surface-side molded panel member (3) through a plurality of projections (5) existing on its surface opposed to the surface-side molded panel member (3), and a heat-insulating gap (6) is left between both of the molded panel members (3, 4). An air-conditioning duct (10) is formed using a portion (22) of the back-side molded panel member (4) as a portion of its peripheral wall. Thus, it is possible to provide an instrument panel-air conditioning duct assembly (1) for a vehicle, which is produced at a reduced number of steps.
