Zusammenfassung:	A method of making an interior panel of an automotive vehicle door having an exterior surface which is to face toward the interior of the automotive vehicle when installed therein. An apparatus utilized in the method comprises a mold assembly including a first vacuum mold component (24) having a mold surface shaped to form the exterior surface of an upper section of the door panel, a second non-vacuum mold component (48) cooperable in side-by-side relation with the first vacuum mold component having a mold surface shaped to form the exterior surface of a lower section of the door panel and a third non-vacuum mold component (68) cooperable in opposed relation with the first and second mold components having a mold surface shaped to form the entire opposite surface of the door panel. The method comprises the steps of heating a laminated sheet, and vacuum forming the heated sheet in the first vacuum mold component. Next, a seal (46) is formed along a marginal edge of the vinyl sheet with an elongated sealing surface at a side of the first vacuum mold component which cooperates in side-by-side relation with the second non-vacuum mold component. Thereafter, a substrate is molded and bonded with the vacuum formed laminate sheet to form a panel in which the substrate defines (1) an opposite surface of the panel having a shape corresponding to the mold surface of the third mold component and (2) an exterior surface of the panel having a shape corresponding to the mold surface of the second mold component. Finally, a rug-like panel is adhered to the exterior surface of the substrate. Procédé de production d'un panneau interne d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile, présentant une surface externe devant être orientée vers l'intérieur du véhicule lorsqu'il y est installé. Un appareil utilisé selon ce procédé est muni d'un ensemble moule comportant un premier élément (24) de moule sous vide présentant une surface de moulage profilée de façon à former la surface externe d'une partie supérieure du panneau de porte; un second élément (48) de moule ne fonctionnant pas sous vide, coopérant avec le premier élément sous vide, à côté duquel il est placé, et présentant une surface de moulage profilée de façon à former la surface externe d'une partie inférieure du panneau de porte; et un troisième élément (68) de moule ne fonctionnant pas sous vide, apte à coopérer avec les premier et second éléments de moule auxquels il est opposé, et présentant une surface de moulage profilée d
