Headliner install question

Has anyone installed a headliner in a bullet bird? I have the new headliner and the bows from the original, plus factory instructions from '61 on installing. I've also searched on the web and the question I can't find the answer to is how to put the bows in the new headliner. Do you straighten out one end and then bend it back into shape when you've got it installed? That will probably work, but don't want to cause any sagging problems by not getting the bend just right.
Thanks,
Eric

Piece of cake. I found a couple of helpful videos online - following their tips, I got the bows in the headliner and the whole thing installed with very little problem. I did a practice run putting the bows in the roof of the car before putting them in the headliner. I think that helped.
