Hi,
First thanks to all for recent help by several in club on 67
Dart full nose parts, still looking (accident) ;
Now, I am looking for the snap in plastic strips that are
often hardened by age and break easily when trying to remove, to repair
300 roof or headliner panels . They hold the perf cardboard style roof panels
onto the hidden bows, and sometimes used with other roof designs too.
We were able to salvage 90 % of last car I did
(strips), , 57 Dodge, came from Montana, cold weather may help preserve, but
present car 62 Chrysler from southwest, they are baked solid, snap . After
fighting this on 57, I vaguely remember accidentally finding a source for these
somewhere, later?? . (or wishful thinking) .
Anyone know about that source? We should for sure add this to
reproduction parts list, if not made somewhere, as you cannot put headliner back
up without it? Some are metal finished and some are cream colored plastic.
Latter is great if you have nothing otherwise. Also used in all mopar 57 up to
XX?
By the way, you can reinforce warped panels with 2-3
thin oak strips ( about size of paint stirrer) glued to back, and then lightly
spray front with rattle can. Comes out great. If you have strips to put it back
up.
