A method of making an interior trim panel for a vehicle door and the interior
trim
panel are disclosed. The method comprises forming a bolster that is spray coated
with a polyurethane skin in an open mold. The bolster and polyurethane skin are
then placed in a mold tool with a glass fiber mat and foam polyurethane is injected
over the polyurethane skin in the portions of the mold outboard of the bolster.
The glass fiber mat is trimmed in the area behind the bolster and a foam pad is
formed in place or assembled behind the bolster and retained in place by a cover panel.
