Are you sure that wasn't part of the cover?
Yes, I'm sure.
It has a wire on each edge which are fixed to the frame using hog rings. And all that stuff has genuine-looking labels attached, so I assume it's all stock.
It was not only under the cover (which has a slime foam-padding there at the top edge) but also under the upholstery (the enwrapped wool material).
I now guess it's there to prevent the upholstery material to sink down behind the feather-frame or kind of supporting it...
...just not to say I'm sure about that. I remember that the upholstery material was not really fixed to the rear seats frame with hog rings but just layed onto that jute-stripe. Makes sense - that wool-stuff and enwrappment is not very robust and would not bear a lot of tension.
After all these years having a 440 I realized that this means having an attitude... and a budget.
