An outer shell has an inboard edge connected to an inboard edge of the inner shell and an outboard edge connectable to a supporting structure such as a vehicle passenger compartment wall. The outer shell partially defines a longitudinal cavity between the outer shell, the wall, and the ceiling of the vehicle passenger compartment. Stanchions connect at respective lower ends to the inboard edge of one of the inner and outer shells. The stanchions have upper ends connectable to a supporting structure such as the ceiling of a vehicle passenger compartment. The outer shell comprises inboard and outboard channels that interconnect with each other and with the inner shell.
