Convertible Tack Strip

[MrMoparCHP]

The rear tack strips on my car (69 Polara) are rusted. The best I could tell they are not used as "tack strips", I assume the rubber is to help hold the top in place.

Question 1.
I have seen new ones for a great many different cars, not the 69 Polara (that I could find)
Does anybody know of a source?

Question 2.
The material looks pretty generic, was it a standard material that was cut and bent by the different car manufacturers for the different cars.
Could I just get some for say an Impala and fit them?

Question 3.
Another option would be to get some aluminum bar and fit it with a piece of rubber bonded to it. Then fit the snaps.
Would this work?

Thanks,


Alan
