Abstract

A vehicle interior trim assembly includes a passenger compartment, a first trim assembly, a second trim assembly and a flexible seal member. The first trim assembly is fixedly installed within the passenger compartment and has a first surface. The second trim assembly is fixedly installed within the passenger compartment and has a second surface adjacent to the first surface of the first trim assembly. The first surface and the second surface are spaced apart from one another defining a gap therebetween. The flexible seal member is attached to the one of the first surface and the second surface. The flexible seal member extends along the gap between the first and second surfaces contacting both the first surface and the second surface thereby covering the gap.
