An instrument panel (12) includes a decorative plastic skin (16) that covers a structural panel (14) and a door (20). The panel (14) includes an opening (18) covered by the door (20), a retainer, and an outer foam layer (48). When the door (20) is closed, a door outer surface lies flush with a panel outer surface, forming a seam between the door (20) and the panel (14). The skin (16) is adhered to the door and panel outer surfaces and extends across the seam. When the door (20) opens, a portion of the skin (16) surrounding the door (20) separates from the outer foam layer (48) of the panel (14), forming a skin tent (36). The skin (16) may also extend around an air conditioning bezel (52). The bezel (52) is outwardly movable when the skin (16) is peeled back so that the skin (16) can pull outward from between the bezel (52) and the panel (14).
