An armrest adapted to be mounted to a vehicle door comprises a primary substrate adapted to be mounted to a vehicle door panel with a secondary substrate mounted to the primary substrate and defining a recess. A foam layer is mounted to the secondary substrate within the recess, and a flexible outer casing intergrally molded to the primary substrate forming a recess with the primary substrate which receives the secondary substrate and the foam layer. A method of fabricating the armrest for the vehicle door is also provided.

A sump has a one-piece body, comprising a hollow base member for collecting fluids leaking from a piping system, the base member having an upper portion and a lower portion. The one-piece body further comprises a hollow riser section having an upper portion defining an opening, and a lower portion, the riser lower portion extending upwardly from the base member upper portion, the riser section having sidewalls with a generally corrugated shaped cross section in an axial direction. The hollow base member has a bottom and sidewalls, each of the bottom and sidewalls having an outer surface. The base member is fiberglass encapsulated, which encapsulation comprises a fiberglass woven reinforcement pad layer disposed on the base member bottom outer surface; a chopped fiberglass material layer disposed on the sidewalls outer surface up to and including an area abutting the riser section lower portion; a polymeric coating material layer disposed on the fiberglass woven reinforcement pad layer and the chopped fiberglass material layer; and a polymeric sealant material layer disposed on a portion of the riser section lower portion and on a portion of the polymeric coating material layer, at the area abutting the riser section lower portion. The sump further comprises a lid and a mechanism for mounting the lid to the riser section upper portion in a water resistant manner.
