Abstract

A door inside panel includes a panel body (12) having a first fixing device (18) and an upper pelmet (14) arranged proximate the upper edge of the panel body (12) and housed in a cavity (16) which opens on the visible side of the inside panel, the pelmet (14) including a second fixing device (20). The fixing devices (18, 20) have co-operating positions wherein they cause the pelmet (14) to be fixed to the panel body (12), a first position wherein the entire edge of the pelmet (14) is in contact with the panel body, and a second position wherein the edge of the pelmet (14) is spaced apart from the panel body (12) proximate the upper edge and forms a slot (28). The invention is suitable for an automotive door.
