Zusammenfassung:An automotive interior trim assembly has at least one area which provides an enhanced tactile feel that is soft to the touch. The interior trim assembly includes a substrate member and a cover member supported on the substrate member. The cover member comprises an inner foam layer which is encased by a pliable outer layer. In one embodiment, the interior trim assembly is formed in a two-shot injection molding operation wherein a first material is injected in the first shot to form the substrate member. Second and third materials are co-injected in the second shot to form the cover member on the substrate member.
