Zusammenfassung:A vehicle interior component includes a decorative covering with one or more lines of decorative stitching sewn therethrough. Together with one or more ridge features, the decorative stitching can be part of a simulated seam formed in the decorative covering. A densified portion and/or a reduced thickness portion can be formed in the decorative covering along the intended stitch path and prior to addition of the decorative stitching to help reduce the effect of the stitching on the overall appearance of the simulated seam, such as the shape of the ridge feature(s). The decorative covering can be compressed along the intended stitch path in a thermoforming process, such as an in-mold graining process.
