    Abstract: Interior trim assemblies for automobiles that eliminate gaps between the trim assemblies and adjacent components in the interior of the automobile. The trim assemblies comprise rigid substrate members with pliable cover layers disposed on the rigid substrate members. In one embodiment, the substrates include central and lateral sections connected by the pliable cover layers. The lateral substrate sections may be deformed toward the central substrate section to accommodate variations in spacing between components, and to eliminate gaps therebetween. In another embodiment, the cover layers include resilient, non-corrugate free ends that extend outwardly from edge portions of the rigid substrates to define flexible flanges that contact adjacent automotive components to eliminate gaps between the trim assemblies and the adjacent components.
