[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a lightweight automotive trim panel includes a trim panel body 1, a decorative layer 3 disposed on the trim panel body 1, a sealing component disposed on the trim panel body 1 and connected to the decorative layer 3, a positioning component disposed on the trim panel body 1, a limiting component disposed on the trim panel body 1, and a magnetic component disposed on the trim panel body 1. When using the lightweight automotive trim panel, the trim panel body 1 is positioned and installed at the location of the car decoration by the positioning plate 2. The car is decorated by the decorative layer 3. The limiting component fixes the decorative layer 3 to the trim panel body 1 through the sealing component. When the decorative layer 3 is accidentally damaged or the decoration style needs to be changed, the sealing component is no longer sealed by the limiting component, so the decorative layer 3 can be removed. The replacement decorative layer 3 is placed on the trim panel body 1, and the replacement decorative layer 3 is repositioned by the cooperation of the limiting component and the sealing component, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly replacing the decorative layer 3 and facilitating the change of different decoration styles.

[0022] Furthermore, a positioning plate 2 is fixedly installed on the trim panel body 1. The positioning plate 2 has holes. When using the trim panel body 1, after placing the positioning plate 2 at the installation location, bolts are used to pass through the positioning plate 2 to fix the trim panel body 1 at the installation location.

[0023] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate 4 and a sealing groove 6. The sealing plate 4 is fixedly installed below the decorative layer 3, and the sealing groove 6 is located inside the decorative panel body 1. The sealing groove 6 engages with the sealing plate 4.
