Default Request for headliner pics for 63 Bonneville wagon

Hello all,
I have received my headliner and windlace for my 63 Bonne wagon.
The headliner was removed from the car by the previous owner.

I am asking for pics of the installed headliner so I have a starting reference point. In particular, I have three anodized(?)aluminum bows in my parts stash, and I don't know where they are located on the headliner.
I also need pictures of the D-pillar area at the rear.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'll be glad to see them!

I don't know if there is a difference between the two. The headliner itself is the same, I don't know if the trim is different since I've never seen mine intact.

Thanks very much, those are very helpful!

If I could get a straight on photo of the C-pillar (between the back door and the fixed side window) I would appreciate it greatly!

Thanks again,

James Q

Sorry James, missed your reply. Tough taking a pic in the garage, I had to lighten the photo up. Is this the section you needed?

Yes, thanks very much!

Two additional windlace questions:

1. The windlace does NOT run over the fixed side windows, it curves down around the back door opening to the floor, correct?

2. Is there windlace above the tailgate window?

I will have to find the C-pillar moldings and rear tailgate window moldings, they are not in my parts stash.....

Every time I think I am ready to go to the trimmer for the headliner install, I discover I am missing something new!

Windlace runs over the doors and down the rear of the rear door to the sill plate.
There is trim similar to the windshield trim at the tailgate.

I don’t think the trim would be needed to install the headliner but the windlace would be.

Thanks very much, I have the windlace.

From your rear window pic, it looks like I need a total of 5 pieces of molding for that, and the two C-Pillar moldings to complete my interior pieces.

There are two upper, two side, and the two sail panel pieces.

Thanks, I have the sail panels, but it looks like there is a center "joiner" piece between the middle of the upper pieces. Sort of like the purpose served by the rear view mirror at the front. Is this correct?

Sorry for all the questions, my wagons' interior was disassembled by the PO and I don't know what is missing. I'm learning as I go, and want to have all the pieces before it goes to the trim shop for a headliner.

Our wagons' appear to have the same blue interior!

No center piece. One of the upper pieces fits over the other.
My interior is actually green.
The reason for the forums is to share info so ask anything you want!

All GM F/S wagons would have the same trim pieces.
Came across this today while looking for something else. Olds but should be the same as what you need.

Thanks, I had seen those pieces and wasn't sure about fit. So those are the two pieces across the top of the window, and I would still be looking for the two outside pieces, correct?

I will expand my searches to all 63-64 big GM wagons, hopefully I can find the missing pieces!

On a side note, I called the big wrecking yards and am NOT impressed with Desert Valley Auto Parts! I went on their website and found four 63-64 GM wagons. I called to request the needed parts, gave them their stock numbers for the cars. They said they would get back to me. After a couple of days of silence, I called back to check status and was informed that they would call me if they found the parts, "don't call us back".
No call since then...
