I just replaced the headliner in my 35 car and not the bows, so I did not looked that close, but I'm pretty sure they were held in place by hex bolts with lock washers. A 34 that I did replace the bows had the "U" shape clip, hex bolt with lock washer.

I snapped this picture last summer when I was disassembling my 1935 3W. The lockwasher is the type that has the serrated star in the middle.
