ABSTRACT:
An interior vehicle trim panel includes a substrate having a front face and an under face. The under face has a tear seam to allow an airbag to exit the substrate when the airbag is deployed. The tear seam defines an airbag door. The outer layer is bonded to the front face of the substrate. A portion of the outer layer defines a hinge member for the airbag door. The outer layer is preferably mechanically bonded to the substrate in a mold, thereby forming an overmolded interior vehicle trim panel. Preferably, the hinge member of the outer layer is thicker relative to a region of the outer layer adjacent the airbag door.
