Re: [A/S] Headliner Benefits

Sorry, Rob, but you couldn't see my tongue in my cheek as I typed "another 
benefit of the headliners and sideliners are that we don't see the failed pop 
rivets".  You are correct, the failed rivets are a definite sign that we need to 
be looking for the "root cause" of undue structural stress.  With the 
headliner and side liner, it is "out of sight and out of mind".  We have to wait 
until a door falls off or the microwave falls in the floor to know that there is a 
vibration issue while towing.
