A trim assembly for a vehicle providing energy absorption between a structural member and a trim cover has a curved cover including a curved inner surface supporting an energy absorbing tube having a first side portion thereon that has an undeformed position and a deformed position that is permanently plasticly deformed upon the cover initially being impacted and the energy absorbing tube has a first segment thereon with an undeformed curvature substantially fully engaged with the curved inner surface of the cover and further having a second side portion overlying the curved segment to form a leaf spring action therebetween that will absorb energy by elastic deformation upon plastic deformation of the first side portion as the cover is impacted.
