Hi, Rich - sorry for the confusion.
The primary concern is where the top bows and top stow behind the squab panel.
The secondary concern is the boot.
The PO carpeted this area, and I have been forcing the bows in as best I can.
Having just returned from the welder, I now have one straightened and
re-welded top bow set, as well as newly welded side curtains [which flapped
around at speed when the bows let go, and stopped providing tension on the
top. It was mighty exciting to have the plastic windows blow out at speed,
and even more exciting standing in the road, in the rain, in the traffic
picking them up...].
Needless to say, I would prefer to pull out the carpet obstructing the bow
storage and replace it with Armacord. If the stuff comes in sets, I am
willing to go ahead and do the boot while I am at it, too.
So - the questions would be for a '62 Blue BT-7, would the Armacord be all
black? And who is a good source? The car is a basic driver, but I would like
it to look nice.
Al

Al,
Some of your terminology could be taken two ways.
For instance "stowage area"? -the area where the top and top bows stow behind
the rear squab panel?
Or -the interior of the boot (trunk) area?
