ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a vehicle trim component assembly includes providing a first mold assembly comprising a first mold section and a second mold section. The first mold assembly defines a first cavity. A third mold section is then provided. The third mold section and the first mold section combine to define a second mold assembly. The second mold assembly defines a second cavity. A pin is provided and extends from a first mold surface of the first mold section into the first cavity and into a portion of the second cavity. A first material is introduced into the first cavity, thereby producing a first trim component portion. The pin defines a first void portion in the first trim component portion. The second mold section is then replaced with the third mold section to define the second cavity of the second mold assembly. A second material is then introduced into the second cavity, thereby producing a second trim component portion. The pin further defines a second void portion in the second trim component portion. The first trim component portion and the second trim component portion form a trim component assembly.
