Abstract: A vehicle interior component includes a storage compartment having an opening configured to facilitate access to an interior of the storage compartment. The vehicle interior component also includes a cover panel having multiple segments coupled to one another by corresponding hinges. The cover panel is configured to transition between a closed position that substantially blocks the opening in the storage compartment and an open position that facilitates access to the interior of the storage compartment via rotation of at least one segment about at least one hinge.

Abstract: A vehicle interior assembly having a seat and a structure, such as a floor console, adjacent to the seat. The vehicle also includes a bin, such as a removable bin, disposed vertically below a gap formed between the seat and the structure. The bin is configured to capture material that drops vertically through the gap.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly having a storage compartment. One vehicle door assembly includes a support structure. The vehicle door assembly also includes an open storage compartment coupled to the support structure. The open storage compartment is positioned in a middle portion of the vehicle door assembly along a vertical axis of the vehicle door assembly. Further, the open storage compartment includes a cavity that is not within an armrest.

Abstract: An armrest for a door of a motor vehicle. A motor vehicle includes a vehicle door assembly. Further, the vehicle door assembly includes a support structure. Moreover, the vehicle door assembly also includes an armrest slidably coupled to the support structure. The armrest may slide along the door assembly to adjust its position.

Abstract: A roof assembly for a vehicle is disclosed and includes a display device supported at the roof assembly. The display device is selectively movable between a use position and a stowed position. The roof assembly also includes a user interface associated with the display device, a light source supported at the roof assembly that is configured to illuminate the user interface and a switch for activating the light source when the display device is selectively moved from the stowed position. Another roof assembly for a vehicle is disclosed that includes a vehicle component that is at least partially supported at a transparent roof panel. A method of manufacturing a perimeter trim member for a vehicle is disclosed and includes designing the perimeter trim member as a plurality of sections and molding the plurality of sections as a single sheet of material.

Abstract: An overhead console for a vehicle includes a substrate formed of a substantially clear material configured to provide a conduit for light. The substrate has a first surface and an opposite second surface. The overhead console also includes a first film layer coupled to the first surface of the substrate. The first film layer has a first portion simulating a first component of the overhead console and a second portion simulating a second component of the overhead console. The overhead console further includes a second film layer coupled to the second surface of the substrate. The second film layer is configured to cooperate with the first film layer to affect the appearance of at least one of the first component and second component.
