Tudor top trim

[Keith True]

What is being used to fill the original top trim strips on the ends? The sides,(gutters) are fine,as they have a fairly rigid strip that I got out with a little care.The ends,front and rear,have what looks to be zinc.There was no saving that,it curled,stretched,and bent just pushing a pencil under it with my fingers.Is there something being made that I am missing?This is the first one I have actually had to remove original parts. Those parts have always been long gone on anything I have worked on in the past.

Don,What I'm trying to find is something to fill the gap in the original moldings.I got them off in real nice shape,but had to destroy the filler strips.I would like to reuse them if possible.I live just a few miles from LeBaron Bonney,and have always used the aluminum replacements.After saving these originals the replacements seem kind of hokey.The front I won't mind so much,but the rear piece fits right back on the car perfectly.The Tudor is an early 31.
