Does anyone know where I can get the aluminum rail that the rain gutter attaches to for a 29 4 door? I have tried the FS and a couple of the other suppliers to no avail. The piece that I took off of my car is was nailed to the bottom of the top where the material ends. The rain gutter is then pushed onto or into the piece to snap into place. When I took it off, the aluminum came off in somewhat of a C shape and the back of the rain gutter has a modified hammer shape in the middle of it's backside that fits into the opening of the C. If that makes sense and you know where I can obtain some of the channel I would greatly appreciate knowing where that may be.

Don't believe that the channel is available so you might have to end up restoring what you have.

I was afraid of that. In the mean time I will keep looking. Was the description clear enough to get the picture? It appears as though there are several out there to accommodate the different years and each are a bit different from the others.

I bought the drip rails for my 1930 coupe from a guy who lived on Long Island, NY and moved to California. I also bought the trim that holds the fabric top in place. Both A-1 products.
It was about 15 years ago and I don't have his name or address, maybe someone else on this forum remembers him. Hope this helps.
