Abstract: A method for manufacturing a covering element, including: i) arranging in an injection mould a sound-absorbing element and an adhesive layer, such that the adhesive layer extends over at least apart of an inner surface of the sound-absorbing element; ii) introducing thermoplastic plastic material of increased temperature into the mould at increased pressure, wherein the plastic material spreads over substantially an outer surface of the sound-absorbing element and over a part of the adhesive layer; and iii) cooling the whole such that the thermoplastic plastic material forms a solid carrier element which is adhered to a part of the adhesive layer and wherein the sound-absorbing element is at least partly enclosed between the carrier element and the adhesive layer.
