Well- they didn't have them. All there was, was the fabric roof cover on the top frame. The cover was attached to the bows so the top would fold back with them.

Convertible headliners are a recent thing.

By fabric roof cover, RocketRaider means the convertible top.

You're already getting one of those, so you're all set.

Ok I already have the Robbins convertible top, mine didn't have the top when I bought it so I have no reference except a picture I have seen online, I need the material that goes on the underside of the top frame that makes it so you can't see the frame.

Why? 60s converts did not have headliners. Nor 70s. The convert headliner thing is something the Germans came up with on BMW and Mercedes around mid-80s.

You want it, you're gonna have to talk a trim shop into making and installing it.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

You can see the frame from the inside of a convertible.

I don't know about no highfalutin' fancy convertibles like RocketRaider's been in, but every convertible I've ever been in or seen had the frame right there over your head, for you to see in all its glory.

As he said, if you don't like it, you're gonna have to do some engineering.

All there is is the pads and the top......the shop can supply both and the metal rods are not covered and can be seen. This is how they came.
