Abstract

See full text

A door trim panel component that has a nominal thickness includes an arm rest that has a die locked pocket for opening the door. The die locked pocket has a wall that is substantially thicker than the nominal thickness of the trim panel component to provide a comfortable hand grip. The door trim panel is molded with the aid of a preformed core block that is embedded in the hand grip to reduce the effective thickness of the hand grip during the molding process. The preformed core block is configured with a stand-off feature that facilitates molding and demolding the door trim panel.
