ABSTRACT:
A headliner assembly includes a molded structural headliner frame. The headliner frame can include at least one accessory integrally molded to the headliner frame. The headliner frame imparts structural integrity to the headliner assembly. The use of a molded headliner frame incorporating at least one integrally molded accessory reduces the overall weight and cost of the headliner assembly. Also, the use of integrally molded accessories eliminates cost in the manufacture of the headliner assembly, which is an improvement over the prior art.
