On my Coupe I replaced the chicken wire 3/8" square soldered wire, and since 1980 it has kept its shape. If you use the stiffer soldered wire, make sure to use a heavy cloth on top of the wood bows to prevent rattling. The soldered wire is easier to work with.

Did y'all really replace original roof wire on a Coupe??
