Abstract
A headliner and air bag assembly includes a headliner having a left and right side edges and a carrier assembly having left and right rails extending along the left and right side edges of the headliner, respectively. The carrier assembly also includes a cross-member connecting the left and right rails. The left and right rails support at least one air bag assembly, and the carrier assembly provides structural support for the headliner and for the air bag assembly to prevent bending of the headliner during installation.
