A method of vehicle assembly ( 10 ) comprises the step (A) of fabricating a vehicle body ( 12 ) having a floor ( 14 ) and door ( 16 ) openings and roof pillars ( 18 ) defining window openings ( 20 ), and a roof ( 17 ) supported on the pillars ( 18 ) and defining a roof opening ( 22 ). The following step (B) includes placing the body ( 12 ) on a vehicle chassis ( 24 ) followed by the step (E) through (I) of inserting interior components ( 26 ) through the opening ( 22 ) in the roof ( 17 ) and securing the components ( 26 ) to the interior of the vehicle body ( 12 ). The final step (G) of the assembly includes placing a roof panel ( 38 ) on the roof ( 17 ) to close the opening ( 22 ) therein after the interior components ( 26 ) are inserted through the opening ( 22 ). The method ( 10 ) of vehicle assembly of the present invention will provide new, efficient, and economical method for assembling automotive vehicles that will reduce assembly time and will not be labor intensive.
