Abstract
A method of manufacturing a vehicle pull handle assembly includes injection molding a pull strap portion in the first shot of a multi-shot molding process. The pull strap portion includes a first pivot joint member. A base is over-molded onto the pull strap portion in the second shot of the multi-shot molding process. The base includes a second pivot joint member which pivotally mates with the first pivot joint member but does not chemically bond with the first pivot joint member in the final molded pull handle assembly.
