ABSTRACT:
A headliner for a vehicle is formed with accessories having clips for mounting the accessories and the headliner to the roof of a vehicle. The headliner is received within a tray that supports the headliner during shipping from the headliner manufacturing plant to the vehicle assembly plant. The tray further provides support for the headliner during installation of the headliner into the vehicle. Thus, the headliner can be manufactured without structural supports reinforced areas because the headliner is structurally supported by the tray during shipping and installation.
