Collapsible map pocket with thermoformed polyethylene/polypropylene fibers

A vehicle comprising:

• at least one door assembly, wherein the at least one door assembly comprises a plurality of trim components, wherein at least one of the plurality of trim components comprises a map pocket, and wherein the map pocket comprises:
• an inward-facing, substrate material layer comprising a polyethylene/polypropylene fibrous, thermoformed material;
• and
• an outward-facing, A-side material layer comprising a non-woven, thermoformed material, disposed abuttingly against the substrate material layer.

A method for manufacturing a map pocket usable as a trim component for a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing or obtaining a substrate material layer comprising a polyethylene/polypropylene fibrous, thermoformable material;
• providing or obtaining an A-side material layer comprising a non-woven, thermoformable material;
• and
• disposing the substrate material layer adjacent to the A-side material layer in a thermoforming mold with adhesive between the A-side material layer and the substrate material layer, and thermoforming the substrate material layer with the A-side material layer to form the map pocket as a unitary, bi-layer structure.
