They come stitched ready for the bows, but not with bows.

What are the bows ? The metal rods ?

I'm also ready to buy one for the wagon.

Haven't seen any wagon ones for several months.
They also used to vary greatly in price.

Anyone know where to get a nice one for a reasonable price.
I would prefer the original stars design.

Finny eBay is the cheapest way. The trimmer that fitted mine said he couldn't match the price. It's funny though only things I've bought of eBay came from the same seller, Suprtrim....

Rat as has been said no bows. Also they have a specific order they go in.

Funny you said that DR - I enquired about some kick panels that had been on eBay for $22, hadn't seen them for a while so rang up & was told $39 - $22 was a special eBay price - you would think the price would be the same whatever it is.

I think I have a full set of bows in a wreck out the back and for a few dollars more I can stitch up a headlining too. I can even get hold of the original "Star" pattern in either off-white or black.
You'd have to fit it yourself though, unless you fly me over

I asked a price on them redoing the armrests in the red. $45 each. 2 months later guess what was on eBay starting at $45 for 2

2 bidders and I got them cheaper than getting two direct. Go figure, I think they just take the gamble on eBay, usually it pays off. But not always

What are bows

Interior roof lining bows that help keep the roof lineing in its correct position.

Sorta kinda look like slightly bent pieces of fencing wire

Used to be called "roof irons" or similar in the days of the old vintage car with "ragtop" tourer bodies.
