You are most welcome! I will have to look in my files to locate such a photo. I have jillions of photos I took over the years, but unfortunately all are not sorted and properly filed, so it may take a bit of time.

However, I will say that the tack strip should be at approximately 3/4 of an inch wide and approximately 3/8" thick (these measurements vary, but this is a guideline). It is crimped into a metal channel that is spot-welded to the body beltline flange. It might be a good idea if you took photos of this area on your car and I can then advise you as to what is going on and how to remedy.

Hope this helps.
