Default 32 cabriolet body top tack strip

Where do we get the correct tack trip material for the soft top on our 32 cabriolet? No we do not mean the PO popsicle stick packers >>>. Also it seems the tacks they used were too long and they either bent like a fish hook or penetrated the inner sheet metal channel.. Thanks

Clearly my inter web search methods are inadequate to find the exact Restorationsupplies.com
Any direct links would be very helpful. The one above goes to a furniture restoration place.
