Roof top tack strip
 

How well does the roof top tack strip fit on a 32. I would think the corners would be the problem area. Is there an alternative that someone has used.

Use #2 or #3 wood screws with Robertson heads in the four corners.

I'm talking about the pre bent ones. The UP ones are straight. And it would be impossible for me to bend one to fit the curve corners without it deforming. It's for a 32 coupe.

They sold bent parts for front and rear. Straight pieces for the side. You need four pieces from them front rear one long piece to make the sides
