They are listed under grp 30.344 as weatherstrip on roof rail hinge type. And I thought finding hassocks was hard!

That's quite a mouthful. No clever abbreviation. Almost sounds military. I don't know if there's any truth to it, but there's an old story that you have to look under the letter "I" to requisition a military "zipper" because the official term is "Interlocking Slide Fastener"

Thanks for the lookup, randy! Someone has to keep track of these things!

Well the passenger side is now completed and it works as well too. The fight will be with the leftside as my examples (cores) are of poor condition.

Looks good. Did you end up replacing the "fuzz" and if so what did you use?

Excellent "weather strip on roof rail, hinge type" work. The paint looks sharp, too.

Adding the felt has been a PITA and or nightmare. I've ruined one example by trying to "uncrimp" the inside edge to insert new felt. Still trying however & will post again when I'm sucessful.
