A combination energy absorption and environmental insulating barrier incorporated into a vehicle door assembly, the assembly including an assembleable trim pad. A three dimensional structural component has a specified length, width and thickness and with at least one impact absorbing portion being designed into the structural component. A plurality of projections and recesses are defined in at least one of first and second faces of the structure component, the component further being molded into the desired three dimensional shape using an impact absorbing material. A moisture impervious barrier is placed upon an inner face of the trim pad and the structural component is adapted to being secured to an inner face of the trim pad and prior to installation of the trim pad against an opposing and inner facing side of the vehicle door.
