<p>A vehicle door (10) includes an outer panel (12) and an inner panel (14) attached together and defining a space (16) for mounting a window and window regulator. A door trim assembly (24) mounted on the inner panel (14) includes an energy-absorbing member (26), preferably of plastics or other foam material, and a trim panel (28) which overlies the energy-absorbing member (26) and provides a decorative surface. An armrest (30) is mounted to project outwards from the trim panel (28) and overlies a cavity (40) provided in the door trim assembly (24). The armrest (30) is mounted on the door trim assembly (24) by a yieldable mount (32,34) which yields upon imposition of a predetermined level of force against the armrest (30) so that the armrest (30) is collapsed into the cavity (40) and assumes a substantially flush relationship with the door trim assembly (24).</p> |
