Hi Andy,
Uh Sterrett sold his car...
That strip you're talkin' about would've been installed on a TR4. I'm not so
sure they were installed on the TR5/TR250, but I would say having that channel
and seal installed will help make a better wind/water barrier.
I don't know exactly where to source this bit, but I do have a set one of my
back lights I could remove. I bet you could use some channel from a TR4 as
well. The TR4s had channel going from the top of the A-Post to the top of the
B-Post. A single rubber seal was installed.
Cheers,
Todd
