Abstract: A headliner for the interior of the vehicle, such as an automobile, includes a porous polyurethane substrate having an A-side surface and a B-side surface. The B-side surface is united with reinforcing layer. The A-side surface is concealed with a decorative cloth, optionally having a foamed backing, exposed to the interior of the vehicle. Interposed between the A-side surface and the decorative cloth is a multilayered laminate, which includes an adhesive layer for adhering the multi-layered laminate to the decorative cloth, a barrier layer for preventing the polyurethane or polyurethane precursors from bleeding therethrough during formation of the substrate; and a shape-retaining layer having sufficient strength to prevent the pores in the A-side surface of the substrate from substantially influencing the outer appearance of the decorative cloth.
