HEADLINING-"55 AND 65" STATION WAGON STYLES
DESCRIPTION
The ''55 and 65" station wagon styles use two
separate headlining assemblies and may be re-
moved and replaced separately.
The front headlining is formed to the contour of
the roof panel by concealed listing wires (View
"A", Fig. 11-7). The ends of the listing wires are
installed into holes in the side roof inner rails
(View "B"), and may be adjusted up and down or
fore and aft.
The headlining material is cemented to metal re-
tainers and side roof rail pinchweld flanges (View
"B",
"C" and "D", Fig. 11-7). Escutcheons,
moldings, and finishing lace cover the edges and
assist in holding the material in place.
The rear headlining is formed to the contour of
the roof panel by concealed listing wires (View
"E", Fig. 11-7). The ends of the listing wires are
installed into clips which are secured to the* side
roof inner rails by screws (View "F", Fig. 11-7).
The edges of the material are cemented to the re-
tainer flanges (View "G", Fig. 11-7). Finishing
lace and moldings cover the edges and assist in
holding the material in place.
