I don't know what those are for, but I'm putting a headliner in a '72 RoadRunner with a 4 bow headliner and they measure 5 7/8.

A great start.
The two pair I have are likely E-body ones, but I'd thought one was from a '69 Bee I parted years ago... guess not. 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

Rick I meant I didn't know what cars the ones you pictured were for. Sorry. 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.

I just use a piece of binding wire, once the headliner is up the wire is completly hidden.
