<p>A trim element (2) for a vehicle comprises a moulded panel (12) having an inner surface (14) that in situ faces towards a vehicle support structure and is hidden from view, and an outer surface (16) that in situ faces into the vehicle interior and is exposed to view. A hook (20) or grab handle (44, Fig. 7), integrally moulded part into trim element (2), extends outwards from the outer surface of the panel (12). An aperture (30) is formed adjacent to the hook. A closure member (32), integrally moulded into the trim element (2), has an integral live hinge (34) to the panel (12) and may be closed to cover the aperture (30). One or more panel support mountings (18, Fig.2) may be moulded onto the panel to ensure its retention when an adjacent curtain airbag (45, Fig. 1) is deployed.</p> |
