The present invention is directed toward providing a headliner for a motor vehicle
comprising an interior layer adapted to present a surface that is exposed to the
interior of the vehicle, a flexible film assembly that is supported by the interior
layer opposite to the interior of the vehicle; and a fill layer adapted to be flowed
over the flexible film and subsequently hardened to form a main supporting body
of the headliner. The flexible film assembly has a first film layer adapted to
establish a generally flat base surface that is mounted to the interior layer and
a second film layer supported on the first film layer having a plurality of voids
formed by portions of the second film layer that are spaced from said first film
layer at predetermined intervals so as to establish an undulating upper surface
of the film assembly. The plurality of voids are adapted to act as a plurality
of resonating cavities to attenuate acoustical frequencies within the vehicle.
