Does anyone know where to install the headliner bows? My car has no headliner and the 4 bows were laying in the car. 3 of them have a flat spot where they touch the roof(1 white tipped, 2 red tipped) and 1 is round with no color tip. There are 2 or 3 holes on the roof rails to put them in. I don't know the order or which holes to use. I would like to try and install my own headliner.
Thanks

I'm not sure if it really matters. You could always just do a dry run without a headliner to see if it makes a difference as to which goes where.

They're going to go in order from largest to smallest starting at the windshield and going to the back. I'll try to gather some pictures for you

EDIT: looks like I couldn't find any in progress pics. But just put them in largest to smallest, there should be 4 small holes along the window line with like a tiny hole underneath that. Just put the bows in there so they're hanging down (with headliner attached of course) then turn them 1 by 1 upward. Keep in mind they will turn different directions from each other so that they pull on each other and stay up. For instance, the one closest to the windshield is going to be rotating into the windshield so you can pull it tight, and then the next one will be opposite to pull the spot in between the first two bows tight, etc etc. Just play with it and you'll figure out how it works, thats what I had to do because my car didn't come with the headliner, but at least the bows were there.

Great advice, I'll give it a try.
