ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel assembly includes an instrument panel carrier, a top panel and a front of dash panel of one-piece molded plastic construction. The top panel includes an upper housing part and the front of dash panel includes a lower housing part that cooperatively form a housing for components of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning system when the top and front close-out panels are attached to the instrument panel carrier. Each panel also cooperates with the instrument panel to form an air distribution duct for the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system that communicates with the housing formed by the two panels.
