On my 51, the center bow was just held in between the front and rear pieces of the headliner. It's shaped so the headliner keys into it. The rear bow screws in so if you don't want to destroy the headliner by cutting it near the center bow, you could unscrew the rear bow and remove the rear part of the headliner. IIRC, the screws on the rear bow are phillips head.
