Hi Guys.

Im ready to install door-cards and need to get some of this "tape" for the top. Can you look at this link, notice the red "tape" along the top and please let me know what its called. Ive asked Moss, no love and searched vinyl tape and nothing....Thank you!!

Can't open the link, so I'm going to hazard a guess...

3M VHB (double-sided) tape is available in a variety of widths and thicknesses (I use a lot of 1/2" wide by .040" thick stuff on BMWs). The tape itself is "black" (anthracite?) but there is a red colored liner sto peel off one side.

If that's not even close to what you're looking for, then you'll have to do a better job of asking for me to be able to help you... ;)

Kurt,
That's flat vinyl, glued in place ( contact cement works ). Supplier of the door cards may have included a roll of matching vinyl. It is on the cars with side curtains to cover the gap between the cockpit surround aluminum and the door panels.

Thanks Bob and Randy! Sorry for the delay in reply, long travel week and the fonts too small now-a-days on my iphone to make out, ha! Guess its time for some glasses....
