ABSTRACT:
A door trim panel for a door frame of a motor vehicle. The door trim panel includes a main body portion adapted to be removably secured to the door frame and a bolster removably secured to the main body portion. The bolster covers an access opening in the main body portion. The bolster includes a substrate having a bolster portion integrally formed with an armrest portion. A cover is integrally molded with the substrate and includes a first portion overlying the bolster portion and having a first thickness, and a second portion overlying the armrest portion and having a second thickness greater than the first thickness to provide a softer feel. The bolster may be made in a two shot molding process with the substrate being formed in the first shot of the molding process and the multi-feel cover being formed in the second shot of the molding process.
