Zusammenfassung:	A product and a method of making it are disclosed. In the illustrated embodiment, the product is a door trim panel for a vehicle which includes an inner surface for facing a vehicle interior and an outer or "B" surface facing the inside of a vehicle door. Various components typically found on the "B" surface of the door trim panel are added to the panel in the present invention by a molding process. The components are preferably formed from a thermoplastic, and the door trim panel itself comprises a fiber or thermoplastic panel capable of forming a mechanical or a fusion bond with the components. Examples of the components which may be added to a panel using the present invention include locators, ribs or other reinforcement members, attachments for wire harnesses, supports, doghouses, flanges, etc. It is also desirable to use recycled material in the panel.
