Abstract:
A method of forming a thermoplastic sheet for use with a vehicle interior panel includes a negative thermoforming process. The negative thermoforming process can provide a grained and/or coated show surface of the thermoplastic sheet with decorative features that are more sharply defined that those produced using a positive thermoforming process.
