The Clear Solution Overhead System by Johnson Controls has been created in response to a growing market for ever-larger glass roofs integrated into vehicles. It features a multi-piece headliner with integrated side curtain airbags and cross-car consoles that make the most of overhead space while bringing additional light into the interior. The trim enables component integration, including safety, lighting and entertainment systems at consumeruse points inside the vehicle. Its advantages are said to include advanced design flexibility, the opportunity to differentiate, reduced production waste, increased craftsmanship, optimised value performance, and the addition of new features. The system also reduces the number of parts in the assembly process. It is said to use less purchased material than traditional headliner products and the integration of airbags simplifies vehicle assembly. By producing the front header using the company's CrafTec technology, multiple components are made all at one time, with additional savings coming from reducing assembly time, indirect labour and logistics related to fewer parts.
