Abstract
A motor vehicle body support structure for receiving a snap-fit fastener from a modular headliner. The vehicle body structure includes sheet metal members defining slots having longitudinal axes extending in the left to right and front to back directions. The longitudinal axes of the slots which are in alignment extend in mutually perpendicular directions such that a modular headliner may be assembled to multiple sheet metal members while maintaining alignment of the modular headliner within the motor vehicle to which it is being installed.
