[QUOTE="in2infinity, post: 1527026, member: 30581"] I'm replacing a convertible top on my 1998 mustang and the tack strips on the front frame have almost completely fallen apart. This is the strip on the underside of the front rail which the front of the top is tacked onto and covered by that metal facia piece. There are also two strips of the same material that are in the front corners right above the release latches. Those peices are held in by three rivets and the front end of the top webbing is stapled into them. The material measures .565" wide x .113" thick. What do you guys use to replace that? It seems much more rigid (almost like ABS plastic - but it could be hardened from age) than the standard tack strip most supply houses sell but I can't seem to find anyone that sells anything like this.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5696 (1).jpg"]27822[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5697 (1).jpg"]27821[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5698 (1).jpg"]27820[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
