A main trim panel has a trim surface, a plurality of first attachment parts and a recessed surface that is spaced apart from the trim surface. The recessed surface defines a flange that includes a first tether attachment part and a plurality of attachment parts. A sub-trim panel has a second tether attachment part and a plurality of fastener parts fixed to the attachment parts of the flange. A tether has a first end attached to the first tether attachment part and a second end attached to the second tether attachment part, such that with the sub-trim panel installed to the main trim panel, the sub-trim panel the covers and conceals the flange, the first tether attachment part and the tether, and with the sub-trim panel un-installed from the main trim panel the tether limits movement of the sub-trim panel relative to the main trim panel.
