Abstract

A locator tool for a headliner assembly includes a base, first finger, second finger, and magnet. A proximal end portion of the first finger is fixedly coupled to a top portion of the base. The first finger extends in a first direction from the proximal end portion of the first finger to a distal end portion of the first finger. A proximal end portion of the second finger is fixedly coupled to the top portion of the base. The second finger extends in the first direction from the proximal end portion of the second finger to a distal end portion of the second finger. The second finger is spaced apart from the first finger by the top surface. The second finger extends in the first direction a lesser distance from the top surface than the first finger.
