Integrated Roof Shade/Aux. AC Duct/Headliner Reinforcement


This integrated headliner system arrives at the assembly plant already carrying an auxiliary air-conditioning (AC) duct, headliner stiffener, headliner attachment base, moon-roof opening stiffening rings, and dual sun-shade carrier, reducing online assembly operations and costs, lowering part count from 22 to 15, lightening the headliner by 1 lb/0.45 kg, and allowing for a larger daylight opening and better airflow management and distribution.  By integrating the duct and shade system using high-heat ABS and a high-strength hot-melt adhesive with nitrogen-assist spray, the installation process can be better controlled to meet required tolerances, saving $10-15 USD piece cost / vehicle and $2.45MM in tooling avoidance.
