What are the dimensions of the rear bow tack strip. (The tack strips at the top of the window, not the one in the trunk well.) Mine is not securing the staples and tacks well anymore so I want to order it before pulling apart the top to replace it.
Looking at the products sold by the vendors and a couple Camaro discussions, I just get confused.
Camaro discussions mention: the bow measures 5/8 wide x 1/2 thick and another that you have to double up what the vendors sell. (if you have to double then, the 5/8 wide dimension implies they are doubled side by side not layered???
Ames: 5/16 x 1/2 Classic and Camaro Central: mentions no dimensions. YearOne 5/8 x 1/8 Rick's Camaros: 1/2 x 5/16 Tops Online: 3/8 x 1/2 NPD and D&R: product not found Convertible Top Guys: sell multiple sizes but only mentions tack strips in specific applications as included in top kits so I cannot tell sizes.
I would go with the 1/2" x 5/16" as this size is: a) Claimed to be a copy of the original at Rick's b) When I bought my replacement top over 25 years ago it was sold as a "copy' of the original and my tack strip is 1/2 x 5/16 also.
