I tried searching the archives for this but came up short. I purchased a new two piece headliner for my 50 pickup. I am missing the center retainer bar that holds the front and rear pieces together. I know it takes the "floating retainer", but I'm not sure how this is attached. Does it hold the two parts by tension or what?

Secondly, do any of the vendors sell the floating retainers? I see the older ones with screws holding them to the roof.

Any info will be appreciated

In addition to the center(floating)retainer there is one at the rear of the headliner too. You can get both by placeing an ad in the parts wanted section. Just clean and paint. They'll look like new. It is not a fun job to put in the headliner. Cecil........

When you put in the headliner did you have to trim the forward half? Also which way does the bow face. The wider(top) edge pointing back?
