The Ford Barn

In both inside corners, there is a channel that goes around the corner. This channel, I believe, is what the interior is tacked into.

Much of mine is missing.

What was the original material?

What can I put into the channel that will accept the tacks and hold them tightly?

Thanks,

check with an upholstery shop, they should have access to tack strip material.

I see you have installed Rattle Trap Sound Deadener in rear of your car. Did you do the whole car including the doors and floor? If so how big of a roll did you buy and was it enough?

Those metal channels are missing from my Tudor. Brattons sells the strip that mount in the metal channel, but not the channel.

I laminated 1/16" spruce strips purchased from a hobby shop in place - got glue all over myself and everything else and slide them in. You can go a little higher for more grip with a couple narrower strips.

I used the same cardboard as I used in the upholstery panels. I glued two layers together for the thickness of two panels, and then slid them into the metal channels

Glue in a leveling strip, attach a strip of self adhesive VELCRO & attach a strip to the upholstery panel & you're DONE!
