Hi, Does anyone know of a source for the tacking strip that goes in the track above the rear window glass( the Yearone strip sits too low in the channel)
Thanks Tim

An old "trick" is to size up the profile of a fan belt that will fit into the channel void with a little help from a hammer and drift, the rubber cord of the belt will give you the resiliency to hold the staples when you tack the top on the topbow

This is good to know. I'll be using this trick soon.
