I'm replacing the convertible top on my Challenger.  Is there someone who reproduces the tack strip that sits in the rear bow?  The bow well measures 9/16" wide by 1/2" deep.  A search on the internet came up blank.

 Here's a company that offers the e-body tack strips. Doesn't sound like your size though. https://www.topsonline.com/model/Convertible_Tops_And_Accessories/Dodge/1970_and_1971_Dodge_Challenger_And_Challenger_R/T.html
Scroll down towards bottom of their page. Maybe a call to them will help and a sponsor here may sell them.

I can't remember the name of the company but I got mine off of eBay 6 years ago and it fit like a glove.  Sorry I don't have more.

Still striking out.  Seems my choices are to stack two 1/2 wide, 1/4 inch thick together with loose side to side fit or buy the over sized one and somehow cut it down.   :'(
Hard to believe no one makes the correct size.
