Automobile trim and method for manufacturing the same

An automobile trim has a trim body (20) (a base layer) formed of a rubber composition and having a design surface, a decorating layer (18) formed of a thermoplastic elastomer composition and thermally bonded integrally with the design surface of the trim body (20). A thermal bonding layer (22) is formed of a thermoplastic resin composition and interposed between the decorating layer (18) and the trim body (20) so that the decorating layer (18) is thermally bonded integrally with the trim body (20) through the thermal bonding layer (22). The thermal bonding layer (22) has a thickness to an extent not to prevent bending flexibility when the trim is attached to a vehicle body. In another example, a cushion layer is laminated on the trim body and formed of sponge rubber of EPDM, a decorating layer is laminated on the cushion layer and formed by foaming olefin thermoplastic elastomer, and an olefin bonding layer for bonding the cushion layer and the decorating layer.
