Abstract

An automotive interior component such as an automotive door trim comprising a main body integrally combining a resin core member and a surface skin member by a mold press forming process and an attachment member attached to a part of the main body, in which the attachment member is attached to the main body by way of connecting parts of the resin core member during the process of mold press forming. The connecting part may consist of an extension of the resin core member which is pushed out of openings provided in the surface skin member and adhered to the attachment member. Alternatively, the connecting part may consist of parts of the resin core member into which engagement pawls provided in the attachment member, in particular, an attachment core member thereof are penetrated through the surface skin member. In either case, solidification of the connecting parts completes the attachment of the automotive door trim. Thus, the process of mounting the attachment member is simplified, and accurate positioning of the attachment member can be achieved.
