Porsche 356B - 1959 to 1963
Porsche 356C - 1963 to 1965

Headliner bows are thin structural metal rods installed across the roof frame of the vehicle. The interior headliner material is attached to these bows, which stretch the lining evenly across the roof panel to maintain the correct shape and tension.
The OE Match set includes four bows, matching the original Porsche configuration used in 356A T2, 356B and 356C Coupe vehicles. The bows are designed to fit into the factory mounting points inside the roof structure and hold the headliner in position during installation.
This component is commonly replaced when installing a new roof headliner or performing a full interior restoration.
The headliner bows support and stretch the roof lining material so that it sits evenly and smoothly across the interior roof. They help maintain proper tension and alignment of the headliner, preventing sagging or wrinkles.
By keeping the headliner securely positioned, the bows also contribute to a clean and original interior appearance.
During restoration or headliner replacement, original bows may become bent, corroded or lost. Damaged bows can prevent the headliner from fitting correctly, resulting in sagging or uneven tension. Installing new OE Match bows ensures the headliner is properly supported and maintains the original interior appearance.
Consider replacing the headliner bows when:
• Installing a new headliner
• Performing a full interior restoration
• Original bows are bent, rusted or missing
• The headliner shows sagging or uneven tension

OEMatch Roof Headliner — Fit, Finish, Comfort
OEMatch roof headlining for Porsche models offers a practical replacement route when genuine or OEM parts are not available. These replacements are supplied to match original dimensions and mounting points, restoring interior finish while supporting insulation and cabin acoustic performance across a wide range of Porsche models.
Available Types
- Pre-trimmed roof liners in common Porsche profiles
- Full replacement headliner panels
- Fabric repair kits and adhesive systems
- Replacement foam backing and mounting clips
- Material options in Alcantara, leatherette and woven cloth
Understanding OEMatch Roof Headliner
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original roof headlining.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the roof headlining and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM roof headlining engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
The roof headlining provides a finished cabin surface while helping acoustic damping, thermal insulation and concealment of wiring and roof reinforcements. OEMatch items are offered as fabric-faced panels and repair components, with options to match original colours and textures for restoration or refresh projects.
Benefits Include
- Restores a clean, factory-style interior appearance
- Removes sagging, wrinkles and material discolouration
- Improves cabin soundproofing and thermal insulation
- Available in materials chosen to match original Porsche finishes
Why Roof Headliner Wear and Fail
- Adhesive breakdown causing sagging or detachment
- Foam backing degradation with age and heat exposure
- Moisture and humidity accelerating fabric and foam decay
- Wear from convertible mechanisms or repeated trim removal
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Roof Headliner
Replacing a worn headliner restores interior appearance and comfort, reduces noise and heat transfer, and conceals structural elements and wiring. Correctly sized and finished panels help preserve resale value and ensure a uniform cabin presentation for Porsche models from classic to modern.
Advantages
- Precision-cut panels to match roof contours and mounting points
- Choice of materials to suit original or upgraded interiors
- Improved acoustic and thermal properties compared with degraded originals
Support & Advice
Fitting can appear straightforward but may require correct adhesive procedures, careful alignment of mounting clips and careful handling of trim panels. If you lack the appropriate tools or are unsure about hidden fixings, seek professional installation.
