Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle headliner. In one example, a method for forming the headliner includes forming a recess and an opening for a support structure in a base substrate layer of the headliner during heat treatment of the base substrate layer. The method further includes inserting the support structure in the recess and the opening and covering the base substrate layer with a skin. A positioning of the support structure within the base substrate layer allows an outline of the support structure to be undetectable through the skin by sight or touch.
