A movable panel assembly for a vehicle includes a console mounted within
the interior of a vehicle. A panel is movably mounted relative to the
console. The panel has at least one electrical component mounted thereon.
A flexible cable electrically connects the at least one component to a
system of the vehicle. A retractor is movably mounted on the assembly.
Movement of the retractor is induced by movement of the panel relative to
the console, such that the flexible cable is guided by the retractor as
the panel moves, so that the position of the flexible cable is controlled
within the movable panel assembly in relation to the position of the
panel.
