The edge seal on your poptop is called pinchweld and is available from Coventry's or similiar stores. Usually stocked in black but white is available.
You can colour code it using VHT leather, vinyl and carpet dye.

nice post there warren.

i put some new pinchweld on bessie about 8 months ago. I had no idea at the time what it was or what it was called, then i found someone selling it on ebay. I got a price of 15 bucks a meter for ten meters. i then later worked out what it was and bought my own for 75 cents a meter. i bought 8 metres and then started putting it on and thought oh shite, this wont be enough, but alas it took 8 metres less 6 inches. Only cost me about 63 bucks, but that was for the black, white was a wee bit dearer.

You will find there are a couple of different size pinch welds available. Over on the east coast pinch weld is available from most Clark Rubber stores and most foam and rubber suppliers.
You will find there is limited sizes in the white and it is dearer because the metal used in the white is alloy and the black is just mild steel.
