When the stylist or engineer specifies a metal molding for use on an interior trim panel, the normal procedure has been to include sheet metal tabs or die cast studs for attachment, with attendant labor costs. The Dual Durometer method provides a bondable metal molding which can be attached dielectrically in the same embossing die that produces the trim panel design.
