i pulled out my windscreen, scratched the cowl vent doing it, now ready to start finally fitting my hoodliner but i noticed i am missing a wire, its the 3rd from the front in a wagon.
 all the other wires are thick except 1 wich is thin.
 is the 3rd wire from the back thick or thin?
 i have thick wire here but if its a thin wire where do i buy thin wire on a saturday?
 is there another wire in a wagon rooflinig i could copy to make the 3rd one back?

In the sedans the listing sleeve that goes in where the interior light is has two pieces of thin wire, one either side, that hook into a set of barbs/clips on the support rib. Otherwise all the support bows are all the same guage.

shit, now i recall that there was one wire in two seperate peices, how would i go about making that?

after a big search ive found one of the short wires, does anyone know where i might buy wire for the other piece, is it mild steel, spring steel or anything? all i can think of is bunnings

It's only mild steel. I think you could probably use a coathanger straightened out.

thanks, i was just looking at it thinking coat hanger, i will go and check the wardrobe.

I have one I could post you if needed. A coat hanger that is

thanks for the offer but i just got some after 3 hrs of searching shops,  they are plastic coated but i can pick it of if need be.
now i have to clip it up and work out how to trim the edges of the headliner to shape

No Name, if you can wait till Monday try taking your sample wire here, you should be able to get it already straightened, I think Huntingwood is another name for Eastern Creek ?
