Or, in other words, they're injection molding the trim pieces for the pillars right onto the back of fabrics.

Injection molding for interiors--including fabrics: plenty of interior components are injection molded. But some companies--such as VW--are using a process for trim pieces that both mold a component and cover it in fabric in a single molding process.
