The invention relates to method for dissipating the kinetic energy during an impact on a glass trim element into a motor vehicle's interior comprising a step of fixation of the glass element to a support to provide an assembly that is integrated to motor vehicle's interior body. According to the present invention, the support comprises further a mean with a permanent deformation or not to dissipate the kinetic energy during an impact.

A plastic component for an interior of a vehicle comprises: a first piece including a first support element; and a second piece facing the first piece and including a second support element adjacent to the first support element within an interstice between the first piece and the second piece; wherein, the first support element extends from an interstice-facing surface of the first piece at a junction, and the junction has a junction thickness that is less thick than a thickness of the first support element adjacent to the junction. During the transition from a non-impact position to an impact position, the junction can separate to induce breakage of the first piece in the interstice between the first piece and the second piece and not viewable from the interior of the vehicle.

A rear-facing occupant protection device is provided. The rear-facing occupant protection device is applied to a vehicle in which a seatback of a front seat is mounted in a rear-facing state in which a back surface of the seatback faces a vehicle-body-side vertical wall portion disposed at a front end of a vehicle cabin, or mounted such that the seat back is capable of taking the rear-facing state. The rear-facing occupant protection device includes: an energy absorbing portion disposed on at least one of a back surface of a seatback pad of the seatback and a rear surface of the vehicle-body-side vertical wall portion, the energy absorbing portion being configured to be deformed so as to absorb energy at a time of a frontal collision of the vehicle.

An instrument panel component includes a wall, a first projection, and a second projection. The wall is configured to be supported by the instrument panel. The first and second projections are supported by the wall and extend in a common direction away from the wall. The length of the first projection is different than the length of the second projection and both projections are of a different material than the material of the wall.
