THANK YOU DAVID! This is exactly what I need to know. Yes 5 bows and the
sawtooth blades are on the sides. I find the pockets you tell about, and
altho not numbered , it was easy to determine which bows go where.
QUESTIONS: should the tops of the bows touch the inside of the roof? How
does the rearmost bow attach to the sides? No clips or pockets there on
mine. Whats left of the two little springs above the rear window are
there.
Thanks...........................MO

Steve,
You said the bows were in the trunk (5?). Hope they ‘re labeled front to
rear. What about the saw tooth plates – one each side – might these still
be
mounted to the inside roof framing or were these removed along with the
bows? These are what hold the bows in position. You might have noticed,
four
teardrop shaped indents in the sub roof frame symmetrically along each
side.
Four of the bows rest in these indents and the saw tooth plates cover the
bows in the indents thus holding them in place. The saw tooth plates are
mounted with a sheet metal screw at the A pillar and five twist lock
clips.
Does this help?
I don’t have pics but if you need some, I’ll see what I can do. Hope you’re
not in too big of a hurry.
