An interior component, for example an armrest (10) (Figure 1 - not shown) for a motor vehicle, comprises a substrate 42 having a surface and flexible elements 56 on the surface, and a cover 52 covering at least a portion of the substrate 42 and the flexible elements 56. A method of making such a component by injection molding is also described. A mould assembly comprises a first cavity 36, defined by assembled sections 20, 22 and 23 of the assembly, and plural voids or holes 32, defined by one of the sections 22. A first material 40 is injected into the cavity 36, the material 40 conforming to the shape of the cavity 36 and holes 32 to form a substrate 42 with ribs or pins 56. The mould is disassembled and the section 20, which carries the substrate with pins 56 thereon, is assembled with another section 24 to define a second cavity 48, into which a second material 50 is injected to form the cover or skin 52. The ribs 56 may be formed separately before assembling on substrate 42. |
