ABSTRACT:
A headliner assembly covers an inner surface of a motor vehicle roof having a sunroof opening. The headliner assembly includes a dimensionally stable substrate having an upper surface facing the inner surface of the motor vehicle roof and an opposite bottom surface. The headliner assembly also includes a molded reinforcement disposed along the upper surface of the substrate. The molded reinforcement has a main wall and a box-shaped attachment structure supporting a fastener for attaching the headliner assembly to the inner surface of the motor vehicle roof. The attachment structure has spaced apart pair of side walls extending between the main wall and the inner surface of the motor vehicle roof. The attachment structure has a top wall extending between tie side walls of the attachment structure. The attachment structure also includes a reinforcing wall extending between the top wall and the side walls. The reinforcing wall contacts the substrate to control the distance between the substrate and the molded reinforcement.
