need some pics of a 67 valiant 2 door post headliner and pics of the bows in place if possible. thanks
measure them if you can so I can make sure I have the correct bows. thanksi left my bows in the old headliner when i took it out, i'll check em today and let you know which colors go where. -pauly
thanks Pauly, looks like I have 2 at 49" 1 at 501/2 and the long one that goes on the rear. the rear one seems to fit fine. and I have the 2 little wires that hook on it but the other 3 don't fit unless they are at an angle to the front or rear? thats why I need to see how they are installed.I guess I am missing one also. don't know where I will get that one from.front to back:
violet- 49"
violet- 49"
violet- 49"
red- 50 1/2"
blue- 70-71"
i doubt the measurements are exact since the tape i was using was very stiff and difficult to bend around the bows, but they should be close. basically the front three are the same size and the shortest, and the very back one is the longest. there's five in all.
remember too that there's little wire fasteners that hook to the back bow and keep it pulled towards the back window
thanks that would be very helpful. feel up there and see if they are at an angle before you remove them if you can.I am just about ready to install mine so if I can figure this bow thing out I'll take some pics of the install that may help you.I was thinking if you cut the headliner out around the bows you may be able to see how they fit. thanks againThanks 3404speed and Pauly for the color codeing/length info. Quicktree I will do my best to document the removal process with photos this weekend and I will try to mock everything back up without said headliner so we can get a "behind the scenes" view. Who knows how long it will take for me to get back to installing a headliner so hopefully I can back to this thread when I need to and have some pics along with some good advice from others who have jumped this hurdle
mine still has the clips but I can't picture what they actually do. I think the bows I have are for my challenger. they just seem to long for the valiant.Bows are supported by the clip's on each end of bow
there is padding between the bow and roof when the rod is place at angle then turned up straight to add the needed tension and each one somewhat adjusts for flow and fit.
Start by hanging middle rod and work back , then go back to middle and work to front make sure you have a heat gun or at least a good hair dryer and some small padded clamps
U tube has a few helpful install videos
thanks for the link I have seen that before. it is very helpful but it doesn't show how the bows fit in the clips. I am pretty sure I have the wrong bows for my valiant. I had some laying around for my challenger. I can guess they just slide down in the pocket of the clip. the bows I have are bent on the end.I'll be watching when you get to yours. thanks for all the help.http://www.hotrod.com/howto/76318_headliner_installation/index.html
