SCOPE This specification defines the minimum durability and performance requirements of hard, mold-in-color interior trim panels, moldings, overhead and floor consoles, and hard instrument panels where variou

3、s materials are combined to provide a trim assembly having decorative and/or functional features. 2. APPLICATION This specification was originally released for plastic mold-in-color and non-visible interior trim items such as door panels, center and overhead consoles, quarter panels, A-, B-, C-, and

4、 D-pillar moldings, hard instrument panels, instrument panel components and garnish molding. Testing for mold-in-color components is detailed in Table 1 unless specified otherwise by Ford Engineering. Testing for non-visible components is detailed in Table 2 unless otherwise specified by Ford Engine

5、ering Testing must be done on parts unless part geometry does not allow. If that is the case, appropriate plaques with production grain and color can be used. 2.1 LIMITATIONS Excluded from this specification are the non resin components within the following assembly performance specifications; soft

6、instrument panels, interior soft trim and wrapped parts (WSS-M15P45-B/latest), package trays (WSS-M15P6-E/latest), steering wheels (WSS-98P12-B/latest), headliners (WSS-M15P27-F/latest), carpeted substrate (WSS-M8P16-B/latest), molded armrests and headrests (WSS-M15P39-B/latest), appliqus (WSS-M15P3
