70 Challenger SE Headliner

[Go Fly]

Looking to understand what headliner and bows used in a 70 SE Challenger without a console.
Thanks

All 70 Challenger SE's had a one piece molded headliner and all had the overhead console. No bows.

No bows. Solid peice up top.

I just had one put in my 70 S.E. It’s a pain to install but I dig those lights.

As they say....Never say never but as far as I know, the overhead console was part of the SE package along with the badging, leather seats, rear window plug, carpeted lower door panels and the rear garnish panel above the tail lights.

Basically impossible , the bows & sail panels will not work with the smaller SE window , I suppose ou could use the SE sail panels with a regular headliner & bows to make it work .All SE I have seen have the console as part of the SE pkg , no separate code for it .

Not so......When I restored my 70 R/T SE Challenger back in 1998, no one had the one piece SE headliner. I had a parts car that had the bowed headliner. I robbed the bows and sail panels from that car and kept my SE window. I sold the car back in 2013 and don't have pictures of how the rear window looked from the inside any longer. I still have the SE sail panel metal retainers so know I didn't use them or the console. Here is the only pic I have of the headliner.

Beautiful Car! My friend has a 70 RT/SE Challenger, but he hates the Vinyl top. Can You still install the small window and seal it without the Vinyl, or should he just put the regular size window in and save the rear window Plug?

Without the vinyl top, why bother with installing the SE window. Although they look neat, they are hard to see out of and it would take a bucket of bondo to fill in the area that is sure to crack and peel. IMO, your friend would be better off swapping his car for one more to his liking. I liked everything about my SE except the small fuel tank and 10 mpg so off to Australia it went.

Your car is an SE because your car's VIN has the numbers "29" in the first part of the VIN. THAT means that it comes with everything that makes it an SE, the A63 is irrelevant. That code is for non SE cars that have that package code as an option on their non-SE cars.

I appreciate Your Advice. My friend has thought of installing the regular size rear window, but He does not want to destroy the value of the car. The Small back window is one of the main items that make the car an RT/SE. The main issue to Him is not having the vinyl because it is so hot here in Las Vegas, and the Glue will get too hot. Maybe there is someone who can fabricate a metal plug for the small rear window that can be installed without the vinyl.
