I've just gotten my S13 convertible back on the road and the only missing part I need is the retention strip for my tonneau. The part is discontinued and I can't source one anywhere. Therefore...
I'm looking for someone who still has the "ziplock" retention strip on thier car where the tonneau attaches behind the seats. I need a few photos of how it mounts and its cross section. I am in the process of designing a replacement since the part is no longer available. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Just so you don't think this is some wild goose chase, I am an engineer who uses CAD and a 3D printer on a daily basis. My plan is to develop a 3D CAD model of the part, 3D print a test part, and then seek out a company to produce custom extrusions as replacements.
