Thanks all I'm just putting the front section because it's Hq so I just need 1 roof bow ??

Hi Gypsy, not sure about vans but did my Ute a couple of months ago. 2 Bows and a thin wire which clips across the cabin in front of where the interior light goes.
1. Much easier with windscreen out, more room, easier to stretch etc.
2. Have some sections of pinch weld cut into about 10cm pieces to clamp over and hold the liner in place. Found this info on the web AFTER we had done the Ute, would have made the job much easier.
3. We fitted it to the front, then sides and rear last
4. Make sure you mark all the holes as you go, mirror, sun visor, light and coat hooks etc. I am going to have fun trying to find the holes for my Seat belt holder hooks.
5. Use good quality contact adhesive, you don't want it to go wrong.

GOOD LUCK - not a hard job but very hard to get it looking 100%

My hz's both had two roof bows in the back and one wire about the middle and the comb looking thing a the rear to push the rear of the head lining into .in both vans I ended up making a third bow for the rear and installing three bows to get the hood linings tighter,the above doesn't include the bow in the front and a wire at the rear of the cab

I'm not doing the back just the front. So your saying it only has the 1 bow in the front and a wire at the rear of the cab
