Description

[0006] Embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below.

[0007] Motor vehicle doors are often provided with inserts and/or trim strips on their inside of the door facing the interior of the motor vehicle. These inserts and/or trim strips are made from a plastic and are often provided on the outside with a metallic shiny surface or a coloring that mimics a flesh grain.

[0008] If such a motor vehicle door is subjected to a considerable impact force, as can occur in the case of motor vehicle gaps when another motor vehicle hits the outside or the motor vehicle is thrown against a tree, the motor vehicle door is bent and the insert/trim strip is subjected to a breaking force.

[0009] In order to prevent breakage, the insert/trim strip has a reinforcement arranged in or on the plastic of the insert/trim strip, which reinforcement consists of a textile, a metal profile, a metal foil, a plastic profile or a plastic film. The textile is a woven or knitted fabric made of plastic, metal or glass fibre.

[0010] The reinforcement is mounted on or embedded in the plastic of the rear side of the insert/trim strip facing the door surface. The reinforcement is preferably overmolded by the plastic of the insert/trim strip.
