I am missing these two bows,, DOes anyone have apic of the bows and the attaching clips??

I see in the 69 Charger that they used sail panels?

My buddy has them in his 70 Runner (I think)

Were they available both ways?

I believe the rear bows goes here (red arrow) and the clips


I have tins on the back panel. Green Arrow. Would a sail panel work better. W0uld a 1970 fit?

I just changed my original headliner, over the past winter. It didn't have the bows that you are indicating.

None of those bows in my 68 GTX or the parts car I had.
The headliners were made with the spots for them though. Sail panels in both cars.

Kam,

Here are a few reference shots from my 68 RR as I took it apart. You can see the old headliner with the bow tubes in question and as mentioned before it does not appear they were used. The sail boards were like a hard pressed fiber board but pretty thin. They were held in with a small nail that had a twisted shaft. See the pic of those in the baggie next to the sail boards. The head liner is just glued on the boards.
