    Starting at the front windshield and going back to the rear glass the colors are Black, Pink, Grey and Gold. The last bow will have two small retaining wires that hook over the bow (obviously the hooked end up) and the other end is pushed through a hole in the roof rail above the back windshield. The different color ends go toward the drivers side, the passenger side of the bows are all painted yellow. The bows go in the lower holes in the roof rail.

    Are 2 door and 4 door the same? I have a set removed from a 4 door Comet which I would like to use in a 2 door Comet GT. Will it work?
