A column cover surrounding and covering a steering column includes a cover body and a detachable member disposed further forward relative to the cover body and fastened to the cover body, with a clip, to allow the detachable member to be continuous with the cover body. The detachable member is disposed behind an instrument panel R/F and faces the instrument panel R/F with an interval along a length of a vehicle between the detachable member and the instrument panel R/F.

An automotive interior component with an airbag door includes: a core member covering a front pillar and including a hinge part; and a surface member stretched so as to cover a front surface of the core member. The airbag door is a site of the core member partitioned by the hinge part which site is capable of abutting on an airbag. The surface member includes a fold part extending to an outer edge side of a rear surface of the core member so as to cover an edge part connecting between the front surface and the rear surface of the core member. The fold part includes a first fold part not crossing the hinge part and positioned on the airbag door side, and a second fold part bent from the first fold part and crossing the hinge part. The first and second fold parts are stitched with a thread.

An insert type expandable garnish is provided and includes a body part that is inserted into a mounting part of a groove shape formed on the surface of a vehicle. A tension structure part is disposed on the body part to press the body part from the inner bottom surface of the mounting part toward the outside of the vehicle, when the body part is pressed toward the mounting part and inserted into the mounting part. An expandable bracket part protrudes from the body part and is adhered with the mounting part, when the tension structure part presses the body part.

A tether fastening device for an automobile body structure includes a fastener clip, at least one tether strap, a tether clip bracket, a clip strap coupler, and a bracket strap coupler. The clip strap coupler operably couples to a slot in the automobile chassis. The tether clip bracket attaches to the fastener clip when in an attached position. The bracket strap coupler is attached to the body panel. The tether strap allows for controlled detachment between the clip strap coupler and the bracket strap coupler. The strap may include a mesh to absorb the deployment energy and decelerate the body panel in a controlled manner. In the event of an airbag activation, the tether clip bracket and the fastener clip initially accelerate and then decelerate from each other. The pair of tether straps control the deceleration and separation distance of the clip strap coupler and bracket strap coupler.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

A subassembly for a transport and a transport comprising a subassembly is disclosed. The subassembly has a support element, a component arranged on the support element, and a cover element arranged on the support element, adjoining the component. The support element has a lever mechanism which is configured to raise the cover element above a surface of the component in response to a force acting parallel to a surface of the cover element.

A rear wall structure of a passenger compartment includes a vent opening and a horizontally extending seal protruding in a vehicle forward direction. A trim panel has a rear surface facing the rear wall structure. A vertically extending seal extends from the rear surface. With the trim panel installed to the rear wall structure the vertically extending seal contacts the rear wall structure, and, the horizontally extending seal of the rear wall structure contacts the rear surface of the trim panel such that the rear surface and the vertically extending seal of the trim panel and the upright interior surface and the horizontally extending seal of the rear wall structure define an air outlet passageway that extends from an opening in the trim panel to the vent opening.

A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.

The vehicle trim element includes a body defining the outer surface of the trim element, said outer surface including at least one main area and at least one secondary area, the body including at least one deformable part forming a flap movable in the secondary area between a first stable position, in which said flap extends substantially in the continuation of the main area, and at least one second stable position, in which the flap forms a non-zero angle with the main area so as to extend protruding from said main area. In the second position, the flap forms a wall on one side of which a functional space extends opposite the secondary area.

A rear wall structure of a passenger compartment includes a vent opening and a horizontally extending seal protruding in a vehicle forward direction. A trim panel has a rear surface facing the rear wall structure. A vertically extending seal extends from the rear surface. With the trim panel installed to the rear wall structure the vertically extending seal contacts the rear wall structure, and, the horizontally extending seal of the rear wall structure contacts the rear surface of the trim panel such that the rear surface and the vertically extending seal of the trim panel and the upright interior surface and the horizontally extending seal of the rear wall structure define an air outlet passageway that extends from an opening in the trim panel to the vent opening.
