Ceiling panel, sun visors and their fastening

Ceiling handrail
1 – movable part of the ceiling handrail;
2 – bolt cover;
3 – screw
The ceiling panel is an independent mounting unit (see fig. Ceiling panel, sun visors and their fastening). It is pressed from five layers. The outer layer forms a facing pattern, the second layer consists of glass fibers, the third of foamed polyurethane, the fourth of glass reinforcement again and on the back of the panel there is non-woven textile. The panel is made by pressing in a hot state. On the back side of the panel there is a place for gluing a separating lining, reinforcing the panel at the ceiling lantern. This part has a self-adhesive layer. The ceiling panel for a car without a sliding ceiling unit differs from the ceiling panel of a car with a sliding unit. Before installing the ceiling panel, reinforcement is glued to the lower surface of the roof, preventing deformations and vibrations of the roof. The reinforcement is a paper rigid sandwich, in which a honeycomb insert is inserted between the surface smooth layers. The thickness of the reinforcement is 7 mm. Cars without a sunroof have reinforcement along the entire lower surface of the roof, while cars with a sunroof have a sandwich only at the rear behind the window frame.

The roof panel is secured at the back with one large plastic pin, covered with a cover. At the front it is secured with sun visor pins, and at the sides with handrail holders. The roof panel can be removed and put back on.
Each handrail is secured with two thread-cutting screws tightened into the side stiffeners of the body frame. The screws are covered with plastic caps, which are part of the plastic covering of the handrail holders. The handrails themselves are movable and attached to the holders. They are spring-loaded with two coil springs and in the main position are leaning against the ceiling (see fig. Ceiling handrail).
Sun visors
The sun visors are made of polyurethane foam reinforced with steel wire along the contour. On their backs are rectangular mirrors covered with plastic covers. On the sides near the doors, the sun visors have a plastic holder with a hook inserted into the hole, and its cover is attached with one screw to the windshield frame. On the side closest to the longitudinal axis of the car, the visors are secured with a pin in the holder. After pulling out of this holder, the visors can be turned and used to block the upper part of the side windows of the front doors. The visor holders also serve as fastening elements for the ceiling panel.
