Abstract: This invention relates to an automobile headliner which is formed from a batt of polymeric fibers compressed and molded into a predetermined contoured shape. The headliner is characterized by being of a highly deformable resilient construction to facilitate installation in the vehicle. More specifically, the fibers forming the batt are bonded together at a multiplicity of locations which impart a self-supporting molded rigidity which allows the headliner to retain its shape in the installed condition in the vehicle, yet rendering the same highly deformable and resilient to allow it to be rolled or folded upon itself during installation and to thereafter resiliently recover to its original molded shape.
