Hi guys,
Can anybody tell me if the sedan hood lining bows are the same as the hatch ones?
Will the other models also fit ?
Does anybody have any ?
Cheers
Bigears

I believe yes, yes and yes.

I have a hatch set still wrapped in the black hood lining and a sedan set still wrapped in its hood lining
They appear the same bows, but obviously different hood linings

G'day Welby,
Thanks for the heads up. That makes things a lot easier to sort out.
Do you know how many bows are in the hatch off the top of your head?
Thanks for your help
Cheers Bigears

From memory,

 

3 bows and 1 wire. The wire connects where the interior light does, should be some hooks in the sheet metal. 1 bow forward of the wire, two to the rear. bows are meant to slot into the top holes, although many find it doesnt fit, so they have one side in the top hole, one side in the bottom. I find it easier to put the bow in upside down, then rotate. You have a coupe so there is a lip at the rear that you pinchweld the headlining onto.

According to the parts bible, the rear one in the hatch is different to the 4 doors.  I would think they would have to be with such a different roof line.

 

I have mine out of the hatch at the moment and I have a 4 door roof I am using to get the front one from since I have now rid myself of my sunroof so I can do a comparison - looks like the others are all the same between models except the 4 doors have an additional wire piece at the back that the hatches don't need.

They are all colour coded (with a dash of paint). 4dr shares some with 2dr, I cant recall the colours or sequence but this is the information you require.

thanks heaps everyone, I managed to get a set today but the rear one is a little short.

May just have to manufacture one a little longer or be creative.

Cheers
