Abstract
A component assembly includes a first part having a transparent section. The first part defines an outer surface. A second part is fixedly secured to the first part at a portion of the transparent section. The first and second parts create a connecting seam through the portion of the transparent section. An optically covering surface extends between the connecting seam and the outer surface of the first part to cover the connecting seam from view from the outer surface.
