1939 Packard six convertible coupe— metal clad tacking strip

Posted by ewrecks On 2021/2/27 20:19:09

Working on the car today and discovered the rear tacking strip for the convertible top was encased in a metal housing that attaches to a channel with rivets .
The metal is badly rusted but area under itt is solid.
Does anyone offer this type of tacking strip or is it necessary to retrofit typical tacking strips?
Any info will be appreciated.
thanks
