SW Town Sedan - what material is used for tack strip above doors?
I have removed the rope like material that is used for a tack strip above the doors of a SW 4 door. There are two parallel troughs above the doors with tabs every 4 inches or so to hold the rope material in. What material is available as a replacement? Would appreciate any comments.

I had the same issue when I did mine a few years ago. Nothing is made for this, so I took some hemp rope and soaked it in an Elmers like glue and installed it. Not a great fix but it worked.

Not exactly what you’re asking….
The tack strip on a roadster has somewhat same stuff. I’ve cut strips of upholstery board and laminated it in the area You could cut strips of that and feed into area with glue thereon |

An slightly oversized wooden dowel can be flattened on one side (facing out) and shaped to fit in the channel. It will be flexible enough to follow the curved shape. Sorry, I don’t have a picture of this it’s been too long ago since this was done.
