Integrated roof bow and HVAC duct with a headliner providing a close-out wall of the duct
A vehicle having a body including a roof supported between spaced roof rails. A plurality of roof bows extend between and are attached to the roof rails that reinforce the roof. The roof bows define an air distribution duct that includes an air inlet and at least one air vent. The air distribution duct defines a downwardly facing open channel that is closed by a headliner.
Process for manufacturing vehicle headliners
Manufacturing process for vehicle headliners comprising a substrate and at least one decorative lining extending along one of the faces of said substrate, joined to each other through a layer of adhesive, which specifically comprises the union of the decorative lining to the previously shaped substrate using a thermosetting adhesive with a high viscosity.

Method for forming a headliner
A headliner includes a ceiling and an edge flange extending away from the ceiling. The edge flange has a backing section at a free end and a wall section connected to the ceiling. An edge fold is formed on the headliner by a method that includes heating the flange and folding the backing section over and parallel to the ceiling. The method also includes forming a reverse turned edge by folding the backing section over the wall section and compressing the backing section against the wall section.
Magnet fastener assembly
A magnet fastener assembly includes a carrier having a body including a magnet seat with a conical bottom wall and an outer rim wall. A magnet cup is received within the rim wall overlying the conical bottom wall. Further a magnet is held in the magnet cup.
VEHICULAR CEILING INTERIOR COMPONENT
A vehicular ceiling interior component includes a board member that is a plate member and configured as a ceiling of a vehicular compartment, and a reinforcing member having an elongated shape and extending in an elongated direction. The reinforcing member is disposed on a vehicular exterior side surface of the board member and made of material having a linear expansion coefficient greater than a linear expansion coefficient of material of the board member. The reinforcing member includes a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion each of which is fixed to the vehicular exterior side surface of the board member and that are arranged along the elongated direction, and a connection portion that connects the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion and is away from the vehicular exterior side surface of the board member.
Automotive headliner locator tab for service repair
A replacement locator tab is provided for a headliner. That replacement locator tab includes a locator portion and a headliner mounting portion. An adhesive film is provided on a face of the headliner mounting portion. A removable protective film overlies the adhesive film. A headliner incorporating the locator tab is also disclosed as is a method of repairing a headliner in a motor vehicle.
Lining part and method for producing a lining part
A lining part, in particular for the interior of a motor vehicle, has a base body which is formed of a wood material. Slip-prevention elements which have a higher adhesion force than the surface of the base body are located on the surface of the base body.
AUTOMOTIVE HEADLINER LOCATOR TAB FOR SERVICE REPAIR
A replacement locator tab is provided for a headliner. That replacement locator tab includes a locator portion and a headliner mounting portion. An adhesive film is provided on a face of the headliner mounting portion. A removable protective film overlies the adhesive film.
