Abstract
A headliner for mounting in the passenger compartment of a vehicle is formed from a plurality of layers of materials including foamed polyurethane, fiber glass and scrim. The layers are bonded together under heat which cures an incorporated thermosetting resin. The thermosetting resin freezes the assembled laminate conforming to the configuration of the lowermost mold. After setting of the resin the flexible laminate is trimmed to the desired shape at its periphery.
