Integrally Molded Energy Absorption Features

The patent-pending injection-molded, high-impact PP door-trim substrate’s design features integrally molded, energy-absorbing rib structures that replace pelvic-safety foam bolsters, improving occupant protection during side-impact events while reducing piece price, tooling costs, and assembly costs.  The vehicle’s 5-Star side-impact performance is due in part to the design of this innovative door-trim substrate.
