A method for manufacturing a composite part () for covering, sealing, trimming, or retaining a component of a vehicle, wherein the composite part () has a main body () with a vehicle side surface () and is made of a first polymer, and has a mounting pin () configured to engage in a form fitting manner and is made of a second polymer, wherein the second polymer has a higher formability than the first polymer, comprises the steps of extrusion molding of the main body () and injection molding of the mounting pin (). This is done in such a manner that the mounting pin () is being integrally bonded to the main body () on the side of the vehicle side surface ().

Method for manufacturing a composite part and composite part

The invention relates to a switch strip () for an apparatus for detecting an obstruction () in the movement range () of a closure element (), in particular of an automotive vehicle (). The switch strip () has an inner electrode (), an outer electrode () approximately concentrically surrounding the inner electrode () at a distance (D), and a space () filled with air, which is arranged between the outer electrode () and the inner electrode () and which is dielectric. Furthermore, the switch strip () has a spacer () which is deformable in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. The spacer () spaces and insulates the two electrodes () from one another. The outer electrode () is deformable by a force (F) applied from the outside. The deformation of the outer electrode () is able to at least in portions bring the inner electrode () and the outer electrode () into contact with each other. Such a switch strip () is also referred to as a tactile switch strip ().
