6970mustang 10 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 I am rebuilding a 69 mustang coupe. I didn't label the headliner bows when I removed them from the car. Ther is one short bow, 2 medium length bows, and one longer bow. There are also 2 holes in the body for each bow. Can someone tell me which bows go in which positions, and in each position which hole do you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 do your rods have paint markings on them? this is from a 69 fastback. is your coupe anything like this? good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6970mustang 10 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 There may be some faint paint on the long rod that looks like it might be grey, the two medium rods are red, and the short rod has nothing. The long and medium rods are flat on top and the short rod is round. I have the springs and looked at the rods to see if I could tell which rod they were on and I can not.

6970mustang 10 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 LFugate are you working on a coupe and are your bows shaped and painted similar to mine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Len69Coupe 33 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 LFugate are you working on a coupe and are your bows shaped and painted similar to mine? Yes I am. I have 2 red, 1 white and 1 with no color. I was standing there when the guy removed them from the donor car. He started marking them with a paint pen after he removed 2 of them, but I think he got them backwards. Just not sure though that's why I need to know too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4reboy 10 Report post Posted December 25, 2009 I believe the largest ones are for the rear, shortest in the front. Just go from large to small, from rear to front. Test fit all the rods yourself without the headliner in, you should be able to determine it from that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6970mustang 10 Report post Posted December 25, 2009 I think you are right about the longer/taller bows starting in the back. I test fit them before I posted and it isn't 100% clear that can only go in one way. The second question then is on a coupe which holes in the body do you use?

Len69Coupe 33 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Not sure what holes either. I went out and test fitted mine again. If I went shortest in the front to longest in the back it would be natural/red/red/white, but it seems to fit a lot better natural/red/white/red. I was hoping someone on here had the answer. I guess I will have to try another Mustang forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
