Location: Upstate NY		I pull the headliner down (it was rotten) and all these nests are coming down with mice feces and skeletons and I just want to get it down as fas as possible. In doing so I pulled all the rods out and threw them all together as I moved to the rear. Well then I start looking at them and some have red ends some orange others white so what is the sequence for reinstallation or should I just fit them the best I can? is there a standard sequence? 57 Fireflite 4dr Sedan
Thanks
Bob

Location: Upstate NY		Oh boy! I was afraid of that and figured as much when I saw the colors on the ends of the rods. Thanks for your reply.

Location: Perth Australia		I kind of had the same problem

I removed the roof lining in my dodge in a hurry (it was on fire at the time), so I lost the position of a couple of the bows

I thought as they had to go in the right spot, that the service manual might have had the sequence in it, but I couldnt find it

I didnt (but should have) written the sequence down once I worked it out

You should be able to "dry run" the bows in the roof to get an idea

If its any help, the one with the biggest loop is the second last
