Photo: Nissan’s Water Drop Headliner

May 29, 2012 By Naseem Muaddi

Designed to resemble ripples in a pond, the Nissan Cube’s “water drop” headliner goes down as the coolest headliner I’ve ever seen. While the rippled effect goes against my natural trimmer instincts for a wrinkle-free finish, I just can’t get over how unique it looks.

My only complaint is the Cube’s boring dome light. As the center of attention, you’d think they would have designed a more modern-looking courtesy light.

What do you think? Tell us in the comments section below.

    Absolutely love it! Love the contrast of it to the “boxiness” of the vehicle. Definitely agree, needs a jazzier dome light.

    I agree a round dome seems more of a logical design pattern. And, as far as wrinkles just heat the material up a little and you’ll be fine.

    Yeah this looks great. It’s a shame that more automakers don’t take advantage of their headliners to do something really unique. For most, it’s just wasted space…

    The idea is good, but i think this design look`s cheap.
    People come to me with headliners looking like this one . 😉
