Method of forming a vehicle trim panel

A method of manufacturing an overmolded trim component for a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a mold assembly including a first mold portion and a movable mold element which is movable between first and second positions, wherein the movable mold element includes a first mold surface and a second mold surface positioned at a first angle with respect to the first mold surface;
• b. positioning the movable mold element into the first position to define a first cavity defined by the first mold portion and the first and second mold surfaces of the movable mold element;
• c. introducing a first material into the first cavity, thereby forming a substrate having a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface, wherein the first substrate surface is at a second angle with respect to the second substrate surface;
• d. positioning the movable mold element into the second position to define a second cavity defined by a portion of the first and second substrate surfaces and the first and second mold surfaces of the movable mold element;
• and
• e. introducing a second material into the second cavity, thereby forming an overmolded trim component;
• wherein the movable mold element is oriented at a third angle with respect to the first substrate surface and at a fourth angle with respect to the second substrate surface.
