Abstract

A method for manufacturing a cladding element for a passenger cabin of a vehicle is provided. A first layer is introduced into a forming shell. A support layer is provided onto the first layer, such that the first layer extends beyond an edge of the support layer. An elastic material strip is provided onto a portion of the first layer hat extends beyond the support layer, such that the material strip is flush with the edge of the support layer. A second layer is provided onto the support layer, such that a portion of the second layer extends beyond the edge of the support layer and is superimposed on the material strip. The forming shell is closed and a pressure is exerted on the layer arrangement accommodated in the forming shell at a temperature between 50° C. to 100° C., to form a sandwich structure.
