Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an assembly for a flexible decorative inner panel and a support such as the inner wall of a vehicle door for example. The panel comprises at least one support layer obtained in a foam or similar material and a layer of adhesive on said lower face of the support layer in order to allow bonding of the panel on the support. The support has a groove to receive the peripheral edge of the panel. The panel, at its periphery on its lower face, includes a non-adhesive strip having a width substantially equal to the overhang of the panel relative to the outer wall of the groove. During placement of said panel, the latter is not bonded on the support outside the groove, and after the peripheral edge of the panel becomes embedded in the groove, the adhesive layer bonds to the inner wall of the groove.
