Rear Center Trim Strip, Series V

Hello all. My friends upholsterer lost the Rear Center Trim Strip. The long piece of three that holds the vinyl top to the body. He's in the Chatsworth CA. area if that matters. Well, maybe it does if a "Good Buddy Neighbor" has an extra one.
Anyway, I suggested that he could probably make one pretty easily, but didn't care for that idea. I can understand that, I'm mostly that way.
Anyway, can we help out a fellow Sunbeamer? Probably just looking for a "fair" price.

Another Alpine on the road.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
If your friend is willing to pay for postage, I have a few of them and would be happy to help out.
If that works, PM me.
Cheers!

Thank you Steve for your offer, I was excited about telling Ernesto about this, and he just told me he bought one on eBay, so looks like we won't be needing this afterall.
Again, thanks to everyone who got involved in this.
Regards:
Jim Jordan

"The long piece of three that holds the vinyl top to the body...."

Hopefully I'm misreading this and your upholsterer isn't about to make a rookie mistake. It's only the center back piece that holds the softtop to the body. If you attach the top via the side pieces, you won't be able to fully stow the softtop in the well.
