Abstract
A method for molding a door handle portion of a door handle assembly for a vehicle includes providing a handle mold for a door handle portion and positioning an antenna within a mold cavity of the handle mold. The method includes providing handle material within the mold cavity and at least partially around the antenna to form the door handle portion and removing the door handle portion and antenna from the handle mold. The handle portion includes an antenna positioned within the handle portion. Optionally, and prior to providing handle material within the mold cavity, the method may comprise providing core material within a mold cavity of a core mold to form a core portion, and positioning the core portion and the antenna within the mold cavity of the handle mold.
