VEHICLE HEADLINER COMPRISED OF A THERMOFORMABLE THERMOPLASTIC FOAM SHEET

摘要

A vehicle having an improved headliner. The headliner comprises a thermoformed core layer. The core layer comprises an extruded thermoplastic foam and optionally one or more adjacent layers of a substantially non-foamed thermoplastic. The core layer is substantially free of thermoset materials and preferably free of glass or fiberglass mattes or scrim. A decorative layer such a felt layer or a fabric layer is preferably laminated to the core layer. The headliner is substantially resistant to sagging and able to substantially maintain its thermoformed shape when installed in the vehicle. There is also a process for assembling or making a headliner and installing it in a vehicle.
