ABSTRACT:
A vehicle headliner assembly (152) includes a headliner structural layer. A foam beam (174) is joined to the headliner structural layer. An NVH pad (156) is partially embedded within the foam beam (174). A method of forming a headliner structure is provided. The method includes forming a headliner main body (170). The headliner main body (170) is positioned in a mold (220) that has a recess (224). The mold (220) is closed. Foam is introduced into the recess (224) to form a foam beam (174) and to join the foam beam (174) to the headliner main body (170). A portion of an NVH pad (156) is embedded in the foam.
