A reinforcement (10) includes a material layer (18) disposed on a carrier (12) that includes integrally formed support features (20), such as ribs (22), holes (26), pins (28), or a combination thereof, and/or a connector pin (36) that deforms to secure the material layer (18) to the carrier (12). The support features (20) reduce the weak interface between the material layer (18) and the carrier (12) by improving bonding of the material layer (18) to the carrier (12). |
