HEADLINING REPLACEMENT
Fabric Headlining
The headlining is cemented in place over the wind-
shield header and at the rear window body opening.
To remove the lining it will be necessary to remove
the cemented front and rear sections before remov-
ing the headlining and bows from the roof rails.
The roof rails on all models using fabric headlining
are strung through retaining loops sewed into the lin-
ing. Each bow is held in place by an attaching loop
pressed into each roof rail and spring into place when
installed.

retainers and the tension spring from the rear bow

Prior to installing the headlining and to assure cor-
rect installation of the headlining bows, start at the
rear of the removed headlining and remove each bow
from the old listing and install it in position in the
new headlining.
Before installing the bows in the new headlining,
trim the excess listing
even
with the edges of the
headlining (Fig. 19). Notch the headlining at the front
and rear ends to indicate the center of the material
by making small V-shaped cuts. Use these marks as
