A method for manufacturing a flexible skin which has at least one insert adhered thereto, said flexible skin and said insert defining together a visible front surface; said flexible skin consisting of one or more skin layers (1A, 1B) and having a front face, forming a first portion of the visible front surface of the skin, and a back face; and said insert having a back face, which is fixed by means of an adhering layer to this flexible skin, and a front face, which forms a second portion of said visible front surface, which second portion is situated adjacent said first portion of the visible front surface, said method comprising the successive steps of: - providing a mould surface; - moulding at least one of said skin layers (1, 1A) against said mould surface, which mould surface has a raised portion so that a recessed portion is produced in the front face of the flexible skin layer (1, 1A) which is moulded against the mould surface; - removing the moulded skin layer (1, 1A) from the mould surface; - positioning said insert in said recessed portion with a portion of its back face against the moulded skin layer (1, 1A); and - adhering the back face of the insert by means of an adhering layer to the moulded skin layer (1, 1A), wherein the skin layer (1, 1A), which is moulded on said mould surface, is provided with at least one opening giving access to the back face of the insert; and after having positioned the insert with a portion of its back face against the front face of said skin layer (1, 1A), the back face of the insert is adhered to the skin layer (1, 1A) by providing said adhering layer which is adhesively connected to at least a portion of the back face of the skin layer (1, 1A) which surrounds the opening in the skin layer (1, 1A) and, through this opening, to at least a portion of the back face of the insert, which adhering layer extends over the back face of the insert and the back face of the skin layer (1, 1A) to adhere the insert to the skin layer (1, 1A). - providing a mould surface; - moulding at least one of said skin layers (1, 1A) against said mould surface, which mould surface has a raised portion so that a recessed portion is produced in the front face of the flexible skin layer (1, 1A) which is moulded against the mould surface; - removing the moulded skin layer (1, 1A) from the mould surface; - positioning said insert in said recessed portion with a portion of its back face against the moulded skin layer (1, 1A); and - adhering the back face of the insert by means of an adhering layer to the moulded skin layer (1, 1A), wherein the skin layer (1, 1A), which is moulded on said mould surface, is provided with at least one opening giving access to the back face of the insert; and after having positioned the insert with a portion of its back face against the front face of said skin layer (1, 1A), the back face of the insert is adhered to the skin layer (1, 1A) by providing said adhering layer which is adhesively connected to at least a portion of the back face of the skin layer (1, 1A) which surrounds the opening in the skin layer (1, 1A) and, through this opening, to at least a portion of the back face of the insert, which adhering layer extends over the back face of the insert and the back face of the skin layer (1, 1A) to adhere the insert to the skin layer (1, 1A).
