Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a cover assembly for use with a vehicular plate member. The cover assembly includes a pad that is over-molded to a resilient member. The pad includes a primary contact member having an exterior surface with a relatively high coefficient of friction and disposed to be frictionally engagable with the vehicle operator's foot, the primary contact member being abradable through frictional engagement with the operator's foot. The pad can also include a connector member that is configured for attachment to the plate member. The cover assembly can also include a secondary contact member between the exterior surface of the primary contact member and the plate member. The secondary contact member is disposed completely below the primary contact member and thereby hidden from view prior to abrasion of the primary contact member, but disposed to frictionally engage the operator's foot subsequent to abrasion of the primary contact member.
