In an upper interior structure of a vehicle of the present invention, a deployment guide portion for guiding a curtain airbag toward a cabin side when the curtain airbag is deployed. The deployment guide portion comprises a first guide part and a second guide part. The first guide part is arranged above a top ceiling and on an outward side, in a vehicle width direction, of the curtain airbag, facing an upper end portion of a pillar trim, so as to restrain the curtain airbag from being deployed outwardly in the vehicle width direction. The second guide part is arranged between the first guide part and the top ceiling, extending in a vertical direction, so as to restrain the curtain airbag from being deployed into a gap between the first guide part and the upper end portion of the pillar trim.

A method for manufacturing a decorative lining (HD) for a vehicle interior element (EH) is disclosed. Said method involves: step (i) wherein the size of at least one edge (B11, B12) of two leather parts (PC1, PC2) is reduced on an inner face (FI1) and each reduced-size edge is folded over to form a fold (R1, R2) on each leather part (PC1, PC2); and step (ii) wherein the leather parts (PC1, PC2) as well as a decorative insert (ID) that is inserted between the two leather parts (PC1, PC2) are coupled to the vehicle interior element (EH) by placing two edges (B21, B22) underneath the folds (R1, R2).

A vehicle trim structure includes a flange provided at a vehicle trim and configured to contact a counterpart member, wherein an end portion of the flange that is configured to contact the counterpart member is formed from a soft material, and a contact face of the end portion is configured with a circular arc-shaped cross-section profile.

An upper reinforcement for a door trim panel includes a reinforcement channel, and a rib extending across the reinforcement channel. More particularly, the rib includes a first end section that engages a first wall of the channel, a second end section that engages a third wall of the channel and an intermediate section that extends across a window in the second wall of the channel.

An interior part of vehicle capable of improving in design property is manufactured by joining a plurality of pieces of a layered cloth having at least a skin material and a cushion material. The plurality of pieces to be joined are processed with continuous stitches, and the pieces joined with the stitch processing are sewn up, with the front surfaces put together, along ends to be joined. One of the joined plurality of pieces is folded, thus the plurality of pieces are provided, with the front surfaces facing vehicle interior space.

An interior member for attachment to a car body configuring member includes a fixing tool to fix the interior member to the car body configuring member, a base portion with a through-hole which allows the fixing tool to pass therethrough, and a movement restricting portion that protrudes from an outer surface of the base portion. The fixing tool has a head disposed on the outer surface, and a shaft extending from the head and fixed to the car body configuring member through the through-hole. The interior member is displaceable in a direction along the outer surface of the base portion within a predetermined area in a state where part of the car body configuring member or the fixing tool is inserted. The movement restricting portion has an abutting portion which restricts movement of the head in the direction along the outer surface.

An interior trim covers sections of door cutouts (1a, 1b) of a motor vehicle body facing a floor. The interior trim has a first trim panel (2a) for covering a section (3a) of the first door cutout (1a) facing the vehicle floor, a second trim panel (2b) for covering a section (3b) of the second door cutout (1b) facing the vehicle floor (31), and a third trim panel (8) that extends in the direction of the B pillar between the door cutouts (1 a, 1 b). The trim panels (2a, 2b, 8) compensate for tolerances during assembly of the interior trim so that the first and second trim panels (2a, 2b) can be shifted relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, and the third trim panel (8) and the first and second trim panels (2a, 2b) can be shifted relative to each other in the vertical direction.

A segmented headliner includes a plurality of segments connected together and outlining a central opening.

A clip mounting seat includes a mounting base having an outer edge, a mounting hole in which the clip is mounted, and a mounting base-side insertion opening at a part of a hole edge of the mounting hole and through which the clip is inserted to the mounting hole, a wall extending downward from the outer edge and including an insertion-side wall having a wall-side insertion hole that is communicated with the mounting base-side insertion opening, and a guide member included in the insertion-side wall and extending along an extending direction of the insertion-side wall and being adjacent to the wall-side insertion hole and opposite the mounting base-side insertion opening with respect to an insertion direction of the clip, the guide member configured to guide the clip in the insertion direction and having a width that is greater than an opening width of the mounting base-side insertion opening.

A decorative covering for a vehicle interior panel is made from two sheets of material joined together at a seam. The sheets of material have matching alignment features along respective edges to aid in visual alignment during the joining operation. The alignment features are spaced along the edge of a decorative layer, and cutouts are formed along a corresponding edge of an attached backing layer such that each alignment feature is visible through one of the cutouts when viewed from the back side. The cutouts are larger than the alignment features and formed before the two layers are laminated together, effectively increasing allowable tolerances during lamination. This construction is particularly useful with leather, which is often subjected to cut-and-sew operations and used with a backing layer.
