Abstract
A method for forming a composite trim panel for a vehicle interior begins with a sheet-like appliqué being loaded onto a female negative-vacuum molding tool, wherein the appliqué has a Class A surface facing the female negative-vacuum molding tool and a Class B surface having a heat-activated adhesive. A skin-forming sheet is heated. The skin-forming sheet is negative-vacuum formed into a trim panel skin in the female negative-vacuum molding tool surrounding and atop of the appliqué, wherein the trim panel skin surrounding the appliqué is formed with an in-mold grain. While the trim panel skin remains pliable from the heating and remains in the female negative-vacuum molding tool, a pre-molded rigid substrate is pressed against the trim panel skin to adhere them together.
