A NUMBER OF SMALL CLAMPS stretch and<br />
shape the decorative fabric into exactly the right position<br />
and at that point, the material and the <strong>head</strong><strong>liner</strong> are<br />
fi nally bonded together. A cooling system ensures that the<br />
decorative material <strong>is</strong> bonded to the <strong>head</strong><strong>liner</strong> without any<br />
creases.<br />

IN MASS PRODUCTION, the almost fi n<strong>is</strong>hed<br />
<strong>head</strong><strong>liner</strong> <strong>is</strong> placed on a press where the specifi c recesses<br />
for each model and trim level are punched out. For lower<br />
volume models, th<strong>is</strong> process <strong>is</strong> carried out by a robot controlled<br />
water jet cutter, which uses a fi ne jet of very high<br />
pressure water to cut out these recesses.<br />

FINALLY THE HEADLINER ARRIVES<br />
at the edge folding station, where the fi nal trimming processes<br />
take place. We now have a completed Opel Zafi ra<br />
<strong>head</strong><strong>liner</strong> and all that remains <strong>is</strong> the just-in-time sequencing<br />
to the car.
