Abstract: A vehicular headliner comprising a molded foam element is described. The headliner comprises energy management capabilities to improve vehicle occupant safety. The headliner comprises an A-surface disposed to face an interior of a vehicle and a B-surface substantially opposed to the A-surface. The headliner includes a molded foam element having a substantially uniform density and an indentation force deflection at 25% deflection in the range of from about 150 pounds to about 4000 pounds when measured pursuant to ASTM 3574-B1. The foam element comprises a peripheral portion, a non-peripheral portion and an intermediate portion disposed therebetween, the intermediate portion having a greater cross-sectional thickness than at least one of the peripheral portion and the non-peripheral portion. A process for producing the headliner is also described. A mold for producing the headliner is also disclosed.
