Abstract

A component for a vehicle interior configured to deform in an event such as a side impact of the vehicle may comprise a composite structure comprising a structural substrate and a structure/frame. The structural substrate may comprise a fiber panel; the structure may comprise a molded structure with a feature provided on the structural substrate at an interface. The feature may comprise a reinforcement for the interface and/or a projection for assembly of the component. The interface may comprise resin material from the molded structure and resin material from the fiber panel. The structure may comprise a border formed at the edge along the thickness of the fiber panel. The interface may comprise intermixing of resin material from the molded structure and the fiber panel and intermingling of resin material from the molded structure and fibers from the fiber panel. A method of producing the component may comprise providing a structural substrate and forming a structure onto the structural substrate at an interface and providing a cover and/or a pad for the composite structure. The component may comprise a trim panel, armrest, etc.
