Re: IML: Roof panel inserts

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

I actually agree with you since the bows must be undone from the roof 
rails. They would also have to be manipulated out of the way in order 
to get to the mounting nuts, which are quite far up into the roof. 
There is a risk of bending the bows, ripping the listings, or even 
ripping the headliner. The headliner should probably be completely and 
carefully removed in order to do the job right. Even then, It may be 
damaged in the process.

Also, the tear down is extensive because after the inside trim 
unscrewed the bows under the headliner have to be disconected, and 
clips pushed back out to retrieve out from under the crome pieces on 
the top.

@Paul:

As you know, I own a 60 Crown 4 door HT. How difficult is it to fit 
these
roof panel inserts?
I really like them a lot, allthough they are already high on the dollar 
at
Ebay...
However, I don't want to tear down the headliner if that is necessary 
to fit
those inserts.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to mount these roof panels?

They are made to fit a four door. I believe that the request was for a
Two Door, which requires longer panels. Also, these specific panels
will only work on '60 & '61. They could be made to work on '62, but
would require some skill, and the acquisition of a several more
expensive trim pieces. 1963 had a completely different roof line and
these will NOT fit that year.

Hi: Someone on the list was looking for a pair of Stainless Steel
roof panel inserts. There is a pair for sale on E-bay for the 1961-63
Imperial. I'm not sure if those are the years he was looking for.

They are item # 200206339211.
