I have a 71 Cuda I'm checkin' out today. PLUM BAD, they plug into the rear roof crossmember and hold the rear-most bow from falling forward as the headliner is drawn tight. Thanks, Rick

I found another from a 68 Charger and remeasured the one from the Roadrunner. I was in a hurry last night, so I was off with the measurement. 72 Roadrunner with 4 bows is 5 3/4. 68 Charger is 7 1/8.
