  • Publication number: 20070264474
    Abstract: A mold assembly, a method of molding, and a molded component for an interior of a vehicle using two shots of material. The mold assembly includes first and second mold halves cooperating to define a cavity. One of the mold halves includes a retractable core. The second mold half defines a divider for engaging the retractable core, when the retractable core is extended, so as to divide the mold cavity into first and second chambers. Portions of the core cooperate to define a sloped surface on the first shot that aids in inhibiting flash forming as the second shot is introduced into the mold assembly.
