6 bows setups were on 71s. 4 bows on the rest. However if you have 6 bows you can use them since locations weren't removed from body

I imagine the installation guides talk to this, but sometimes it will take several "test fits" to get the proper lateral spacing and stretch on the headliner. The headliner sleeve material goes all the way to the edge of the headliner. Since the headliner has more material than is necessary to cover the roof, some must be trimmed. Ergo, the sleeve must be trimmed also. But, since the headliner must go all the way to the interior roof rail channel, and the sleeve can only go to the end of the headliner bow, a little more sleeve than headliner must be trimmed. So, you have to trim enough sleeve to prevent it from bunching up at the end of the bow and keeping you from properly stretching the headliner laterally across the roof. BUT,... don't trim so much that you don't have enough sleeve to allow the rod/bow to hold the headliner up against the roof.
That's why it may take a few iterations of test fits for the proper amount of sleeve trimming. That, and using the best combo of each of the three holes in the roof rail for each bow end to fit into.
Took me (anal-retentive-boy) most of a day to get it right.
Also, lots and lots of those spring-steel paper clamps really help.
Good luck.

Alright seem to have bows right, but are the bows supposed to be up againist the roof? and when you mount the dome light does that bring the center up to the roof line? What a FUN thing to do!! thanks, Dean

IIRC, pretty much, yeah.

Yes. That's why the bows pretty much have to be snug (but not too snug) against the roof line. Too snug, and you run the risk of deforming the roof and/or tearing the sleeves.

Did I say it took me a day? I think it was actually a weekend...
Also, a flashlight and a paper clip that's unbent can help you locate those pesky holes for your visor, rear view mirror, dome light, and especially those coat hanger clips in the back. You DID take pictures and/or measurements of where they were didn't you?!!!!

No problemo. My girls are 5 and 3, so I'm lucky to get maybe a day or two a month to "work" in the garage... The visor and rear view mirror holes were pretty easy to find. It seems like the rear coat hook hole was the toughest. Although I didn't have a spare car to look at, so that should theoretically help quite a bit. The trim piece for the edges of the roof seam - the piece that goes over the clips on the side of the headliner, that is; if you put in on and then have to remove it, it might have a tendency to pull off some of the clips. So best to use some 3M glue (I used 3M 90) as well as the clips to hold on the sides of the headliner. And then only put on the side trim when you're pretty sure you won't have to remove it. I think it goes on after the 1/4 window trim and A-pillar trim anyway, but I'm not sure.
