Headliner "Hold-down" Strips
Hi All
I am about to install a new headliner in a 1970 coupe. I would like to find a source and or a part no. for these strips: They appear to be constructed from a type of cardboard/paper material. Dims: 29mm (1 1/8") wide x 2.4mm (3/32") thick x 280mm (11") long. They are located at the base of the "C" pillar where the headliner transitions to a contact area under the parcel shelf cover They were originally held in place by spiral nails (?). I believe some form of sheet metal screw as a viable replacement for the nails would be a logical upgrade. Thanks in advance. Cheers JB

Soak them in warm water until saturated, lay on a flat surface, flatten them, put weights on them until dry.
Nothing better than original parts. |
