1968-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass & 442 new metal convertible top bow sleeve retainer

Description

This
bow sleeve retainer
fits the
1968-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme & 442
. Inside the number 2 bow (the front header bow is number 1, the next one back is the #2 bow) there is a metal channel called the bow sleeve retainer. The convertible top will have a flap of material hanging down above the #2 bow, the bow sleeve retainer holds this flap to the #2 bow and keeps the top from billowing up or flapping in the wind when you are driving down the road. Quite often the bow sleeve retainer is missing or rusted away and there is nothing to hold the convertible top material down, we have all seen the convertible car going down the road with the top puffed up like hot air balloon! This new bow sleeve retainer is a duplicate of the original and
comes with the screws
that go through the bottom of the #2 bow and screw into the bow sleeve retainer.
