Zusammenfassung:	A headliner (10) for use with a motor vehicle including a combination of a chopped fiber roving (22) bonded between a non-woven film layer and a uretha ne core (14) to eliminate warpage in the headliner (10) after the molding and forming process is complete. The combination of stiffness and mechanical bon d provides this effect.The combination may also include a polypropylene non- woven material (18) combined with a polyethylene film (20) to form a laminat e top (12) and bottom layer (16). The chopped fiber roving (22) is randomly disposed between the laminate (21) and a urethane matrix (44) used to form a core (14) of the headliner (10) to provide the shape stability to the headliner (1).
