Hi to all
I'm restoring a 64 comet which is the same as a falcon and now repairing the rust areas in the header bow
What I would like is a couple of photos of a good one mainly in the corners, ideally 1 of bare bow and one with top and seal in place.
The car is 64 factory 260 now 302 4sp 3.25 ,midnight blue white top, white interior
Cheers Grant

Hi just checking to see if you got what you needed. I picked up a 65 convertible falcon. The header bow was completely toast. I spent months trying to find replacements. When I bought this car I didn’t realize how scarce this piece would be. I was able to find one out of state that was fair in the areas where mine were bad and had a really good auto restoration company fabricate the rest. Cost me $1500 but what they did was magic. Stupid me only took pictures of the before and not the after. I am willing to send anything that will help you.
Both corner edges where shot but sort of in opposite areas so was able to repair but same as you didn't take photos of corners with top material on not that there was much but that's the area of photos I'm after where the front header bow seal meets the side window seal .
Anything would heap really

Thanks Grant
So are you looking to see how the header and window seals go or how the top gets glued to the bow/window seal? I am not 100% sure I understand. I’d like to help you out if I can... I spent a lot of time with trial and error on mine if I can help save you wasted time I will try.
Sorta both
I have done a dummy fit of header seal and window header it's the position these 2 meet

Hi, I have a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura convertible. I have some rust on my header as well.

I have a front header bow in very nice condition. A few minor repairs were done. It is available. It is listed on the Falcon Club of America website.
