A vehicle door structure and a method for its manufacture are disclosed, the structure being for a vehicle having a door frame and a door mounted in the frame, the door having an interior facing into the vehicle and an edge surface in opposed relationship to the frame when the door is closed, the edge surface including sheet metal. An interior door panel is provided which includes a substrate mounted on the interior of the door, an edge portion of which is adjacent the sheet metal. A skin interiorly overlies the substrate to define an interior surface for the door, the skin extending from the door interior over the edge portion, beyond the substrate and onto the sheet metal. Flexing of or movement of the skin permits it to compensate for differences in position of the substrate when mounted on the door.
