Abstract

An improved actuator (24) and bezel (22) are assembled in a mold (140). The actuator (24) is linearly movable relative to the bezel (22). A guide surface (44 or 76-80) on the actuator (24) is formed by being molded against a guide surface (38 or 70-74) on the actuator (24). The bezel (22) is molded of a first plastic material in a mold (140). While the bezel (22) is still in the mold (140), the actuator (24) is molded in an opening in the bezel and is formed of a different plastic material than the bezel.
