ABSTRACT:
An interior panel for a motor vehicle provides a deployment door for an airbag assembly supported behind the panel. The deployment door has a peripheral end surface connected to the surrounding panel substrate, the connection being formed by a knit line. In this manner, a seamless deployment door for an airbag assembly is provided with a clean and consistent appearance, while at the same time quickly and easily breaking free from the surrounding panel.
