1. A method of forming a vehicle trim component, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a first component layer formed from a first material and defining a substrate;
b. forming a second component layer from a second material adjacent a portion of a surface of the substrate; and
c. subsequent to step (b), covering the substrate and second component layer with a third component layer formed from a third material, thereby forming a vehicle trim component.

15. A method of forming a vehicle trim component, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a first component layer formed from a first material and defining a substrate; b. providing a second component layer formed from a second material adjacent a portion of a surface of the substrate, the second component layer having a channel formed in a surface thereof; c. providing a third component layer formed from at least two component panels of a third material, the panels joined together and defining a seam therebetween; and d. subsequent to step (b), positioning the seam within the channel and covering the substrate and second component layer with the third component layer, thereby forming a vehicle trim component. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
