Abstract

A process for manufacturing a vehicle cabin part (1) to fit in a gap (9) between a first component (5) and a second component (7) including: providing different sealing bodies (3′) each having a first lateral face (11′) conforming to an inner surface (17′) of the first component (5′) and a second lateral face (13′) spaced a certain distance (15′) from the first lateral face (11′); select one of the sealing bodies having a certain distance that fits the gap (9) between the first component (5) and the second component (7); insert the selected sealing body (3) into the gap (9) such that the first lateral face (11) at least partially adjoins the inner surface (17) of the first component (5) and the second lateral face (13) at least partially adjoins the outer surface (21) of the second component (7) facing the first component (5).
