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.

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

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 ?
