• Step C:
• connecting the heating track to the connection member, and
• Step D:
• arranging the support element in a molding chamber of a mold defining a shape of the element for the bodywork part, the first face of the support element facing an inside of the molding chamber, and injecting a plastic material into the molding chamber in order to cover the heating track,
