    Abstract: A process for producing a molded ceiling for a vehicle that, after molding of a molded ceiling, can allow a mill end to be easily separated from a skin material by a nonwoven fabric layer and can easily conduct edge treatment of a base material to improve productivity. In this process for producing a molded ceiling for a vehicle, a base material together with a skin material is set in a mold in which a molding face is formed in a required curved surface, followed by heating and pressing to bond the base material and the skin material to each other and thus to prepare a molded ceiling. A nonwoven fabric layer for facilitating the separation between the base material and the skin material even after molding is previously interposed between the base material and the skin material.
