'69 Headliner removal question

[#s Matching]

I intend to remove and eventually replace (next spring/summer) the headliner from my 69 Charger R/T and I was wondering if there was anything specific I should be noting during the removal. The liner is original and is discolored with possible water damaged near the back by the sails.  I may install the new headliner myself (preferred route) or have it professional done.  Either way, other than photographing the process, what should I be aware of?

Thanx

Keep track of what bows go where.

Sweet, Thanx Troy

I got my headliner down last weekend and I thought I would share a few pics for anyone interested.

What the best way to treat the under side of the roof now that I have the headliner out?  It appears to have been left as bare metal from the factory.

A few more pics.

Did you replace the sail panels by the rear windows? I am looking to do the same thing.   I have the headliner material and am having someone install it but to save some $$ and stop any rust if there is anything under it I figured I would clean it up before I get it done.   I saw Y1 sells a solid sail panel and a peferated one, I'm not sure what is supposed to be in there since I have never seen it.   Is it usually rusty under the liner?  Mine is a 69.

I'm going to borrow #s Matching's photo to ask another question.  How do I find more of those little clips that hold the piece that I've highlighted below?  Mine is missing a few.  And when I tried reinstalling it, it didn't stay put very well (even with enough clips).  So I must have been doing it wrong.

Regardless of the piece you're after, I unfortunately can't be of any help.   However, here is a another pic showing the clips.   Do you mean the large silver clips that hold the steel paint piece of trim on or the small black clips that help anchor the headliner at the bows?

Yes.  Those are the clips I need more of.

Do you have a pic of the little bow rods in the back and how they go? Thank You.

I know that most of the resto suppliers carry the black clips. Yearone for sure. Probably many others.
The other clips: I haven't looked into those yet.

I have my headliner out of the car right now ill take a pic of the bows in the back.  Legendary sells all the clips for the headliner. I bought new ones for the top that hold it in along the sides, I think there is 6 on each side, they were around $20
