Abstract
Thermoformable laminate structure with a retroflexed margin comprises at least one sheet of thermoplastic foam having a polymer-impregnated cloth adhered to at least one side thereof. Such laminate structure is useful in an automobile headliner assembly where hidden clips engage the retroflexed margin to hold the headliner proximate the roof without the need for garnish molding.
