Passenger Airbag Door / Chute System

This application is an all-thermoplastic passenger airbag door, replacing a steel bracket previously used to support the door during airbag deployment. The TPV chute is vibration welded to the backside of the decorative door, which is decorated using a film applied in-mold.  This design resulted in over a 20% weight savings, and assembly cost reduction.
