ABSTRACT:
An inner body panel that is configured to receive a snap-in component and a corresponding method of manufacture are provided. The inner body panel includes a urethane layer having an inner molded edge defining a first aperture and a glass mat layer affixed to the urethane layer. The glass mat has a second aperture that is smaller than the first aperture. The inner body panel also includes a cloth layer affixed to the glass mat layer that has a third aperture that is smaller than the first aperture. The cloth layer and the glass mat layer are trapped between the inner molded edge and the snap-in component, whereby a soft gasket fit between the snap-in component and the inner molded edge is produced and damage to the inner body panel is minimized when the snap-in component is inserted into the inner body panel.
