Abstract
A lining part for the passenger compartment of an automobile comprises a rigid support, a padding, and a thin flexible covering element which is constructed by the padding being created by a foamed layer that has been caused to react between the support and the covering element so as to be joined thereto and present a non-uniform cross sectional development which is adapted to various functions. In a preferred embodiment, tolerance-compensating studs are provided for securing the lining part to a vehicle body member. These studs are applied to the support independently of the foamed layer and are retained within openings of the support that are disposed in depressions that are spaced from the foamed layer for enabling the studs to be laterally shifted within the openings.
