Abstract
A cover and a method of manufacturing a cover for a vehicle accessory such as an illuminated vanity mirror visor. The cover includes a planar generally rectangular core, preferably of a fiberboard material, which is covered on opposite surfaces by an upholstery material. The combination of upholstery and core is placed in an injection molding machine and a rim is molded around the periphery of the upholstered core. The rim provides both the function of finishing the edge of the cover, as well as providing structural rigidity at the outer periphery of the cover for strength and stability. One edge of the rim may integrally include hinge means for pivotally attaching the cover to the accessory.
