Headliner Bows
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 5:41 am
I have a question about installing a new headliner. I have finished the painting on my restoration, except now having a problem with the bows staying in place. Is there a clip or something that holds them in place while the liner is stretched? They seem to slip off of the ledge and cause undo wrinkles. The screws that hold the drip trim on seem to line up with the bow locations. So far I will attempt to use the ends of the screws by setting the bow tube over them to hold them in place.. Knowing lotus that may have been one of their duel purposes. I did not remove the headliner myself to know what it looked like, but I quess the bows do not set straight up but at an angle?? No end to the learning process with lotus. The upholstery shop is now on the second try and can use any advise. Can't wait to get the liner in so I can drive it with an windscreen. Thanks for any advice!!
