The headlining used in Cherokee, Wagoneer and
Truck models is made of laminated polystyrene backing
board which is finished, depending on the model, with
either a plastic coating, a soft vinyl covering or a close
knit fabric. Lines scored into the backing board allow
the headlining to be shaped to fit the contour of the roof
while providing added strength for self-support.
