More Headliner Questions

[Long Island RT]

My car never had a headliner as it's roof was replaced with 70 roof many years ago - only thing moved over was the rear view mirror and sun visors.  I'm trying to collect everything I need to install the headliner, but I'm working with a blank canvas.

I stole this shot from Belgium's post:


1.  What are the first clips for?
2.  I know the second clip holds the bows in place and I have them
3.  What's the 3rd set of clips for?
4.  Somebody already answered about the 4th set.

I also found these in my bucket-o-parts and found where they attach into the roof - between the 1st and 2nd bows from the front.

What are these for?


How does this top rear "toothed" bracket attach to the roof?  - I see it lines up with some holes - but they are the same size as holes on the bracket?

Does anybody know where I can get the side rear window "toothed" brackets?



I can see in the sail area here where the small bows attach and it looks like I need a clip for the top (and both for the other side)
Any ideas on making custom side bows?

Sail Panels:
I read that for a 69 they go behind the headliner.  What are they for if you can't see them and the headliner does not attach to them? Sound deadening?

Does any of the trim (front, sides and rear window) need brackets installed before headliner goes in?
I actually have the front and side pieces but can,t see how they attach.

Thanks ahead for all your answers.

Thanks BNB - That's a great thread. 

It answers all my questions except:
1- What are those 4 screw on clips with the two holes in the middle I have in the second picture?
2- What happens if you leave the sail panel boards off?

Thanks Again

The only thing I can think of concerning the hardboard sail panels is that maybe MaMopar put them in so a finger etc couldn't easily poke throught the headliner material?

Those are for mounting the 70 shoulder belt retainers.

Cool - Thanks
I obviously don't need them - so if anybody wants them they are yours!
