1964-1965 "A" Body convertible top bow sleeve listing retainer

Here is another new part from Convertible Top Specialists! This bow sleeve retainer (with installation screws) fits the 1964-1965 Pontiac LeMans and Tempest; Buick Special, Skylark; Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu; Oldsmobile Cutlass; F85 Inside the number 2 bow (the front header bow is number 1, the next one back is the #2 bow) there is a metal channel called the bow sleeve retainer. The convertible top will have a flap of material hanging down above the #2 bow, the bow sleeve retainer holds this flap to the #2 bow and keeps the top from billowing up or flapping in the wind when you are driving down the road. Quite often the bow sleeve retainer is missing or rusted away and there is nothing to hold the convertible top material down, we have all seen the convertible car going down the road with the top puffed up like hot air balloon! This new bow sleeve retainer is a duplicate of the original and comes with the screws that go through the bottom of the #2 bow and screw into the bow sleeve retainer.
