Because the Bus has such a large roof surface area, these steel bows are vital for maintaining the structure of the headliner. They slide into the \"sleeves\" sewn into the back of the headliner material and then snap into the factory mounting holes along the roof's inner longitudinal rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eSold individually, these bows allow you to replace only the specific rods that are damaged. They come in a standard 60-inch length which covers all positions from the front cabin to the rear hatch. Because they are made of raw steel, they can be easily cut with a hacksaw or heavy-duty wire cutters to match the exact dimensions of your original rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Bus (Transporter \/ Kombi \/ Microbus):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Type 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCustomizable Fit:\u003c\/b\u003e The 60\" length ensures compatibility with both Split Window and Bay Window models; simply measure your old bow and trim to size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDurable Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to resist the humid environment that can trapped between the roof and the headliner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOriginal Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e The 3\/16\" thickness matches the factory specifications, ensuring they fit perfectly into the original body mounting clips or holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 20-2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLength:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold Individually (Each)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMeasurement Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Do not discard your old bows until you have used them as a template for the new ones.
