'65 barracuda headliner questions?????

[65barracudadude]

OK, I ordered my headliner from carpets 4 classics. Good price and all. They didn't have anything else available. I've located everything else I want from other places. But I have to get everything else from all different places. I want bow clips, retainer clips, insulation and glue. I've tried Laysons, year one, Legendary, and carpets for classics. The only place I've found the bow clips are on ebay. Wich I'm really trying to stay away from ebay. They have been getting enough of my money. Same with pay pal. Anyone know where I can at least get the bow clips from??? I would like to get everything from one place. Any suggestions?????? Thanks.

Exactly what are bow clips? On my 65 Valiant there is no such animal, the headliner is supported via loops in the headliner that go through the bows. All you really need is the headliner, the bows & adhesive. You should also use some insulation, the factory used a fluffy fiber material, there are better alternate solutions. All the headliner edges are held with barbs that are located throughout the perimeter of the roof. There are barbs under the window gaskets & normally the glass should come out to access although some say they have done without doing so. I took the glass out on mine.

I may have my Demon confused with my '66 Dart, but don't the ends of the bows poke into little steel "pockets" that attach to the inside of the car? Don't forget the rear tension hooks for the last/first bow.

That's the way my 65 bows were set up, no clips involved. You're right, there are 2 tension hooks at the rear bow, they're nothing more than bent wires.

Ya know what, I just went out and looked at mine and your both right. All I need now is some glue and insulation. And I know right where to get that. Thanks for posting. I've been waiting for a couple of day's for someone to post something.
