Authors Abstract
Content
A number of design and manufacturing requirements were considered in the development and application of a large, complex, RIM produced soft fascia for the 1979 Mustang and Capri front ends. The design and manufacturing process had to be closely coordinated to achieve the fit, functional and appearance objectives of this highly styled one piece soft part.
The successful application of the 1979 Mustang and Capri soft flexible fascia demonstrates that the design and manufacturing capabilities exist and that the fascia concept will be a viable product/design consideration for future applications.
