Abstract

An instrument panel top cover is provided with an integrally molded foam underside. The integrally molded foam underside provides a number of components that have been supplied separately in the prior art. The use of the integrally molded foam underside thus eliminates the need for many separate components and improves upon the instrument panel top covers of the prior art.
