I have trouble finding the correct 1933 / 34 Ford reproduction tack strip.
My roof area has a recessed gutter type rail, the tack stip fits into (pic. 1). The original style tack strip was rather flat, with a profile that would fit in there (pic. 2).

The reproduction tack strip (pic. 3) however has a profile that does not seem to fit into the recess area, but rather lies on top of it . Thus the roof section will be too high.
I found the 32 reproduction tack strips profile to be more correct (pic. 4 and 5), would that be an alternative ?

Last, i found a type tack strip that has the correct profile, but where the rubber seal slides over the the tack strip acting like a cover ( pic. 6 , 7 and 8). I do not know who produces these, since this kind of strip was featured in an article.

Does anybody know what reproduction tack strip has the correct profile / shape for my car ?
and most important where to get it from ?

Thank you for your help,
Randolf
