Zusammenfassung:	A method of manufacturing a vehicle trim component assembly (10) includes providing a first mold assembly (16) comprising a first mold section (20) and a second mold section (22). The first mold assembly (16) defines a first cavity (36). A third mold section (24) is then provided. The third mold section (24) and the first mold section (20) combine to define a second mold assembly (18). The second mold assembly (18) defines a second cavity (48). A pin (32) is provided and extends from a first mold surface (26) of the first mold section (20) into the first cavity (36) and into a portion of the second cavity (48). A first material is introduced into the first cavity (36), thereby producing a first trim component portion (42). The pin (32) defines a first void portion (58) in the first trim component portion (42). The second mold section (22) is then replaced with the third mold section (24) to define the second cavity (48) of the second mold assembly (18). A second material is then introduced into the second cavity (48), thereby producing a second trim component portion (52). The pin (32) further defines a second void portion (60) in the second trim component portion (52). The first trim component portion (42) and the second trim component portion (52) form a trim component assembly (10).
