Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a control interface for motor vehicle comprising a touch pad exhibiting a front face, and a housing accommodating said touch pad, said housing exhibiting an aperture delimited by a border for access to the front face of the touch pad by a user, characterized in that: —in the course of a first step (101), the aperture of a housing is disposed around a touch pad provided with a film on the front face, the film covering at least the front face of the touch pad and the edges of the housing, —in the course of a second step (102), a holding force is applied to the housing so as to hold it, and —in the course of a third step (103), a liquid levelling lining material is introduced into a peripheral space partitioned off by the film, the border of the housing and the rim ate touch pad, so as to spread the liquid levelling lining material in said peripheral space.
