Abstract
A pocketed panel assembly for a vehicle door is disclosed herein. The pocketed panel assembly includes a trim panel, a partial pocket structure, and a living hinge. The trim panel has a pivotal edge, and the partial pocket structure also has a pivotal edge. The living hinge integrally joins the pivotal edge of the trim panel to the pivotal edge of the partial pocket structure. In such a configuration, the partial pocket structure can be rotated about the living hinge and substantially abutted against the trim panel so as to form an open pocket on the trim panel.
