An assembly comprises an armrest assembly 20 supported by a door trim panel. The armrest assembly includes a crushable member 22 having a gap 26 extending through a substrate 24. The crushable member includes a plug 30 in the gap, fixed on a perimeter 28 of the gap. The substrate 24 is rigid relative to the plug 30. Two or three gaps may be provided, of same or different shapes and sizes. The plug may be fixed to the substrate by adhesive or welding. The plug may be overmolded to the substrate, e.g. injected into the gap and cured to form a single, unitary member. The plug may be elastic and completely fill the gap. The gap may be X-shaped, H-shaped, or U-shaped. The crushable member may crush toward the door trim panel, absorbing a side impact force. The plug may be an elastomer, plastic, or thermoplastic.
