Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:09 am Post subject: Ragtop corner supports for headliner |
|
|
I have a ‘58 with a grafted ragtop. The corner supports were not retained and my headliner installer said they are needed for the headliner to fit properly. Does anyone know where I can buy the supports or can someone send me pics of how they fit. Or maybe even measurements of them? I am ready to have the headliner installed but am stuck. Thanks in advance! _________________ '59 Euro convertible--'56 type 2 double door panel w/Chick Iverson logo-....2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do! |

Thank You, I really appreciate it! I have been searching for a few months, I guess I will have to fabricate some! 🍻 _________________ '59 Euro convertible--'56 type 2 double door panel w/Chick Iverson logo-....2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do! |

I just wrote a well worded reply, but once again this gd site timed out and made me log back in, thus erasing everything I typed.
Anyway, some headliners come with corner pieces sewn in. If yours did and they are still there (or you can sew something back in) you may be better off without the braces, the corner pieces should hold the headliner in the corners. Otherwise (with braces) you will have to cut out the corner pieces and attach the corners with glue which I discovered is not easy to do neatly as a novice.
Also the braces are not easy, maybe even impossible to install with the roof in place.

Thanks, my headliner installer, who is a VW guy, said they are needed. I am going to fabricate some and have them spot welded in. They look fairly easy to make....🤞 _________________ '59 Euro convertible--'56 type 2 double door panel w/Chick Iverson logo-....2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do! |

Well if you insist! Here are some pics I took, showing how they were originally spot welded to the lip in the blind area, unreachable with the roof in place, and another of their general shape once removed. I cut off the original flap that was spot welded in order to remove them.
Hope these help

Sorry, I took those pics as I did my rag graft, then I welded them in. Makes me wonder though, since some people leave them out, there maybe someone with a set . . . ?? |
