wheel housing. With screwdriver, pry headlin-
ing retainer strip (four-door sedan models
only) away from roof rail above doors. Insert
a piece of stiff wire, about eight inches long,
between retainer strip and headlining to lift
the headlining off retaining barbs, as shown in
Figure 93. Pull headlining off retaining barbs
at windshield header.
On all models, retaining brackets hold the
rear headlining bow in position at the center.
(Fig. 94) Pull the bow from brackets, spring
the bow, and remove the end from holes in roof
rail.
Two sets of holes are provided in roof
rails.

95-Marking Holes
Models, remove the body front pillar and roof
side rail weatherstrip and the drive nails at
ends of headlining seams. Use a dull putty knife
to separate the headlining from the roof rail.
Carefully remove the material from the ce-
mented surfaces on Special Club Coupe.
If new headlining is to be installed, remove
the clips from bow ends, as shown in Figure
96,
to permit removal of bow from listing. Bend
up locking tab of clip and remove clip. Starting
at rear of headlining, remove each bow from
the old listing and install bow in position in
new headlining. This will assure correct in-
stallation of bows. Before installing bows in
new headlining, trim excess listing even with
edges of headlining. Notch headlining at front
and rear ends by making small V-shaped cuts
to indicate the center of material, as shown
