Abstract
The present invention relates to a metal part with covering, in particular an inside part of a motor vehicle door, and to a method for producing such a covering. To enable producing a visually attractive covering of a metal part in a substantially simpler and more economical way, it is proposed according to the invention that the covering fabric be glued directly onto the as yet undeformed metal panel and in that state deformed together by deep drawing; in the region of overlap of layered pieces of upholstery, a bead is formed in the metal panel, into which the peripheral regions are pulled. This bead is then pinched together, causing the peripheral regions of the pieces of upholstery to be fixed in clamped fashion. The result is a visually attractive transition from one piece of upholstery to another, since no raveled edges are visible but are instead held in the beads. The covering is effected in the peripheral region of the metal part by means of crimping.
