    just got out my headliner put the bows in and put it in the car..just hanging there right now, came inside to check out the tech article for some tips on how to install this thing, in the article it states make sure you use the springs to keep the rear bow from flipping over..what do they look like? i dont have them...is there any other spring i can use? not sure what i need here..

    That helps a little.. Do you know if anyone sells them? And where avoids on the bow do they mount.. Is it near the centre or the edges?
    Thanks

    You should see where they hook on the car roof, then up to the headliner bow.

    i had a look and seen some holes where they go..where can i get these at craig..would i be able to get them local...? i dont even know what i should be asking for, or if mustang fits, ect.

    do they bend? i could just bend something like that out of alum welding rod..since fomcocomet was nice enough to have a pic with the tape.

    They do not bend. Needs to hold the rod in place as stated.
