Good morning from Spain:

I'm going to install the original Headliner on my Latebay soon. I bought the 9 bows, and I honestly don't know how to install them. I know they're snap-on, but I don't know how many millimeters I need to cut off each one, or if they should meet in the center of the roof panel.

What can happen if I don't put the rubber stops in place? Rods?

Can anyone guide me or provide photos? It would be helpful.

Thanks.

Hola
Opino que son 9 varillas metalicas, y segun las fotografias que amablemente has colocado, son de tres medidas diferentes.

Lo que no tengo aun claro, si las varillas metalicas que las tengo compradas nuevas en la tienda, debo de cortarlas, segun tus fotos a esas medidas o que hacer.

Hello
I think there are 9 metal rods, and according to the photos you kindly posted, they are three different sizes.

What I'm still not sure about is whether I should cut the metal rods, which I bought new at the store, to those measurements, according to your photos, or what else?
