    Is there a list out there somewhere that lists the order that the headliner bows are to be. I know that they have a code # on each one.

    It seems possible to be trapped air. I have run about 75 highway miles so far and it still acts a little better, but mostly the same. My thought was that it should work the air out, but in some...

    It is level. The original hole seems to line up better.
    Was there a reason for the lower hole other than line up?

    I guess I would be that guy. Unfortunately there are not lots of freeways in our area. Mostly posted at 65 MPH around here. When I do get on a freeway I prefer to flow with the traffic.
