RE: [Chrysler300] 62 300H headliner bows

["'David Schwandt' finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are there not cardboard/fiber slats of sorts sewed to the headliner??

These are supposed to slide into the bows on the back side.

The chrome shows on the inside.

 

OR

 

Are there loops sewed into the headliner?

If so, the rods you have slip into the loops in the fabric.

I believe the plastic thingies you refer to go on the ends of the rods where
the slip into the retainers on the roof edges.

Then you stretch the headliner from each end and secure it to the
"nails/prongs that are punched in/out of the front and rear rail/fence
reinforcements.

 

Clear as mud, huh??

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can explain to me how the headliner in my H is supported.
I hate to admit that I removed the old deteriorated headliner and other
parts about eight years ago and now don't recall much.  I seem to remember
there were some steel rod bows above the headliner, but I'm not sure.   I do
have the three interior stainless steel trim moldings that are below the
headliner;  the experienced fellow that will install the headliner thought
those moldings would be adequate support by themselves.   But, he had not
installed a headliner on a car just like this.  The old headliner doesn't
have any listing on the seams or elsewhere on the side against the roof so I
don't know what the bow rods (if there are any) would attach to anyway.  

My parts catalog under the special club coupe shows two bow rods, if I'm
interpreting that correctly, and it shows 12 Retainers (Headlining Bow to
Support) that I don't know what they are, or what they do.  I did not see
any helpful diagram in the Parts Catalog.

The Service Manual has only a very short section for headliners in hardtops
and talks about plastic moldings being used, so I wasn't sure that applied
to the H's.

I have a lot of confidence in the fellow that will install my headliner, but
I also want to be sure that I have all the correct materials and parts for
him.

I will appreciate all advice and suggestions.

Thanks,

Carlton Schroeder

Eagle River, WI
