A vehicle door trim panel has a vehicle interior-facing A-side and a vehicle door structure-facing B-side. The vehicle door trim panel includes a pocket portion that includes a side portion and a wall portion that surrounds and extends outward from the pocket portion. The wall portion has a first portion. The B-side of the first portion of the wall portion is concave and faces generally vehicle-downward. A thickness of the first portion of the wall portion is less than a thickness of the pocket portion adjacent to the first portion of the wall portion.

A vehicle comprises: a knee bolster; a movable obstruction disposed forward of the knee bolster; a seating assembly rearward of the knee bolster; a sensor that generates output; and a controller in communication with the sensor that (a) determines the attribute of the passenger from the output that the sensor generates, and (b) either (i) causes the movable obstruction to obstruct forward movement of the knee bolster based on the determined attribute of the passenger, or (ii) causes the movable obstruction not to obstruct the forward movement of the knee bolster based on the determined attribute of the passenger. The attribute of the passenger can be the weight of the passenger. The controller can cause the movable obstruction to obstruct forward movement of the knee bolster because the weight of the passenger is greater than a predetermined threshold weight.

Systems and apparatus for a vehicle for improving occupant safety and covering a service hole of a door of the vehicle. The system includes a substantially flat body portion configured to cover the service hole. The system also includes a plurality of energy absorbers disposed across the body portion, each energy absorber having a top portion and one or more side walls surrounding the top portion and defining a cavity, each energy absorber having a closed end at the top portion and an open end opposite the closed end, each energy absorber configured to absorb energy and collapse when force is exerted by an object on the top portion, the object moving from the closed end toward the open end.

A top for a convertible vehicle, the top having a top linkage displaceable between a cover and storage position, and which may have a front bow forming a front edge of the top when the top is in the cover position and accommodating a front lock by which the front bow can be fastened to a front header of the vehicle when the top is in the cover position, and the top having a headliner, the front bow having an upper bow shell to which a drive of the front lock is attached and whose upper side is covered by a top cover. The front bow may have a lower bow shell extending at least largely across the width of the front bow in the transverse direction of the top and whose underside is fully covered by the headliner and defines the shape of the headliner with its entire surface.

An interior trim of a vehicle includes a trim panel disposed in an interior space of the vehicle and including a plurality of cells configured to be respectively opened or closed. The plurality of cells define openings facing towards the interior space of the vehicle during an opening operation of the plurality of cells. The openings are arranged so that sound, light or air is discharged through the openings to the interior space of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body including a pillar. The pillar includes a support structure. A passenger compartment is defined by the vehicle body. A trim member disposed in the passenger compartment on the pillar. An energy absorption member is coupled to the trim member. The energy absorption member includes a base and at least one rib extending from the base.

Disclosed herein is an energy absorber having excellent impact resistance and excellent impact energy absorbability. The energy absorber includes an olefin-based resin composition obtained by mixing an olefin resin, a polyamide resin, and an elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide resin, wherein the olefin-based resin composition has a continuous phase containing the olefin resin and a polyamide resin-based dispersed phase dispersed in the continuous phase, and the polyamide resin-based dispersed phase has a structure in which the elastomer is contained in a matrix phase containing the polyamide resin.
