A method of manufacturing molded parts having back injection molded features is operable to make decorative panels for vehicle applications. A single workstation can heat a substrate, locate the heated substrate in a tool, load a cover stock on the substrate while in the tool, insert a buffer layer over the cover stock, close the tool, inject a resin to form ribbing, clip towers, locators, and/or attachment features, cool the part, and then open the tool to eject the completed part. The enhanced manufacturing processes reduces tooling cost and inherent energy usage.
