Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 1970-1973 Camaro Brown Premier Perforated Vinyl 5-Bow Headliner with Sun Visor Material, Acme 70-1413-PRP1185.
This replacement headliner is tailored for 1970-1973 Chevrolet Camaro two-door models equipped with the original suspended five-bow headliner system. It is manufactured from Brown Premier Perforated Vinyl and sewn using an original factory-style pattern for the proper fit, texture and appearance. The exact Acme product record identifies part number 70-1413-PRP1185, 970-1973 Camaro application, five-bow construction and Brown Premier Perforated Vinyl.
The headliner arrives pre-sewn with five listings or sleeves that accept the vehicle’s original metal support bows. Before removing the existing headliner, each bow should be marked according to its front-to-rear location and transferred into the corresponding listing of the new headliner. The original metal bows are not included.
Matching loose Brown Premier Perforated Vinyl material is included for recovering the vehicle’s original sun visors. This is unfinished covering material, so sewing or professional upholstery work may be required. Finished sun visors, visor cores, mounting bars, brackets and hardware are not included.
Premier Perforated Vinyl is the factory-style construction associated with deluxe-interior Camaro headliners. Standard-interior vehicles originally used a different non-perforated material, so customers seeking factory-original construction should verify the vehicle’s trim level and existing headliner material before ordering.
This is a tailored, pre-sewn suspended headliner. It is not loose material by the yard, foam-backed board material, an ABS headliner board or a board-to-bow conversion kit.

The exact Acme product record catalogs 70-1413-PRP1185 for 1970-1973 Chevrolet Camaro two-door applications equipped with five bows. Another current application guide describes the factory-style bow configuration as fitting 1970 through early-production 1973 Camaro coupes.
Fitment Warnings
Verify the original headliner system before ordering: This product fits Camaro models equipped with the original suspended five-bow headliner. Count the bows and inspect the roof mounting points before removing the existing material.
1973 production variation: Current application references describe five-bow fitment through early 1973. A Camaro equipped with a later molded or board-style headliner requires a different product.
Bows are not included: The vehicle must retain five usable original bows or a compatible replacement bow set must be obtained separately.
Sun visor material is unfinished: The included material is supplied for recovering the existing visor cores. It is not a pair of completed ready-to-install sun visors.
Factory-color note: The exact product page lists physical fitment from 1970-1973, but Acme’s official color chart associates Brown with 1971-1973 Camaro applications. Brown may therefore be a custom-color installation rather than a factory-original 1970 choice.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Before removing the original headliner, number each bow according to its position from front to rear. The bows may differ in length, contour or mounting position and should be returned to their original locations.
Remove the sun visors, visor brackets, dome-light assembly, coat hooks, windlace and surrounding roof moldings as required to release the old headliner. Preserve all reusable original trim and mounting hardware.
Carefully remove each bow from the original headliner and slide it through the corresponding sewn listing in the replacement headliner. Do not interchange bow positions or force a bow through the material.
Position the new headliner inside the vehicle and establish the front-to-rear and side-to-side centerlines. Suspend all five bows before permanently securing the perimeter.
Stretch and secure the material gradually, working outward from the center and alternating between opposite sides. Pulling one side completely tight before adjusting the opposite side may create wrinkles or shift the headliner off-center.
Do not trim excess perimeter material until the headliner is centered, evenly tensioned and checked for correct bow placement. Cut openings for the dome light, visor brackets, coat hooks and related accessories only after final positioning.
Use the included matching material to recover the original sun-visor cores. Recovering the visors may require sewing, edge binding and automotive upholstery equipment.
Windlace is not included and must be reused or purchased separately. Professional installation is recommended for proper bow sequencing, stretching and final trimming.
Photography, electronic displays, aged original trim and production dye-lot variation may affect the perceived shade. Compare a physical PRP1185 Brown sample when precise color matching is required.
