Wagon Headliner Bow Trim

[EJL]

I'm curious to know if anyone out there with 68-70 Wagons are in need of the plastic trim pieces that snap onto the metal bows to hide the gaps between the hardboard liner? Here's some pics of the plastic trim I'm talking about.

I'm looking to have some new plastic trims made for my Wagon and if I knew if there were others out there interested in replacing their worn, faded, broken or missing pieces, I'd have extra made. I'm not sure of the price yet, but will post pricing once I get some feedback from those interested.

Funny, I thought today to have all my bows replaced. Although I have a ‘66 Coronet Wagon. Would they be the same? Also, is there a source for the hardboard headliner?

Crispy, I'm not sure if the trim is the same for your 67 wagon. If you don't have any to compare to the pictures I posted, does the metal bows look the same?

I bought my new hardboard liner from Muscle Mania, but it was listed for 68-70 wagons. It might be worth looking into.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

They get REAL brittle over time.

I believe 66-70 are the same (look at the roof-it's the same on wagons).

I need one but would be interested in a whole set depending on price.

Just checked my 68 and 69 both are good if I do not touch them.... I'm sure they are brittle. That IS the correct profile.
Probably for you cheaper by the more you order so I would get plenty extra.......there hast to be a market for them.

Crispy, sorry it's actually Muscle Maniac where I bought my new hardboard headliner from. http://www.musclemaniacstore.com/

YY1, I'll let you know once I confirm pricing.

FU64RY, agreed, I'm sure the more I buy the better the pricing will be. I figured I may as well see who else needs it so I get enough for everyone.

Thanks! I’ll give them a call. From memory mine looks very close to yours. I’ll check tonight when I get home.

What material will they be made of?

Hard plastic formed into the bow, or soft plastic that bends to conform?

 

[EJL]

What material will they be made of?

I'm targeting a softer plastic that will bend easier and confirm to the roof shape.

I talked to Muscle Maniac and their contacting their supplier about the headliner pieces. There’s 8 total. Thanks again for that lead.
I checked my bows and they fit the same profile as yours. So I’m interested in buying a set of these too. Looks like I need 6 approx 50” long.

How much are those panels?

A couple of mine are saggy.

He hasn’t gotten back to me yet. Said it’d be a day or two.

I just ordered the headliner panels. They are $190 without shipping. Muscle Maniac said the supplier makes them the oem templates.

Thanks for looking into this EJL. I'd be interested in a set for my wagon depending on price.

No problem Ernesto. Once I know cost I'll pass it along.

Well I finally received my initial samples today of the new plastic trim pieces.

I plan on installing them in my wagon this weekend to confirm fit and retention. Hopefully they work as intended.

 

[64 Sportfury]

Looking forward to the results.

I would be interested in hearing how everyone feels about the headliner fit and finish for your wagons. I have had some inquires and I spoke to REM as they are the supplier of them. They told me that the 66-67 B-Body was one style and that the 68-70 B-Body was a different part number. They know that they fit the Dodge applications, but he was not sure if that the Plymouth panels were the same.

EJL, once you determine that the fit and function is good, drop me a message as I would be interested in them as well. Thanks for your efforts.

The headliner in my 68 Dodge Coronet wagon is in very good shape with the exception of one panel that sags.

I installed the REM roof panels in my 64 Belvedere wagon last winter. They fit like the originals. Make sure you tell them where the roof light is some have one in back also.
