1948 Ford Convertible Top question

What do you use to replace rubber tack strip with where the top connects to the body? See pic. Thanks.

Drake sells tack strips in various thickness and widths. They are a vinyl type material. I have used them for a long time. Other vendors may sell the same product also.

It's nylon and holds the tacks so much better than the authentic woven material. Plus, it doesn't absorb water as the authentic stuff did.

I used a fibre board material from convertibletopguys.com it worked out well.
