T-Top Interior Roof Edge Molding?

Hello,

Recently saw some videos on resto-mod Trans Am cars. Looking at the (interior) T-Top roof edge, I noticed some sort of 'trim' which made it look neater/cleaner. As someone who restored my own ('86) Camaro T-Top roof piece, I can see in the reflection of the T-Top where the edges are less than perfect. Love my car, but seeing this made me wonder if there was something for Camaros as well. Something that I missed because I didn't know existed. Please see attached for what I'm talking about.

What the Hell is that on the edges?

It doesn't exist. That’s a 2nd gen F-body in the video. Third gens never had a trim lip on the T-top headliner openings unless it was an aftermarket T-top car.

I installed this to prevent sun fade on the headliner fabric edge:

10 ft. covers both sides.

Bad but adequate picture below.

That looks nice acesena4, especially as you have a black headliner.

Thanks DynoDave. Wish I had better pictures to share but that’s all I could find. Hopefully it helps the op or anyone else dealing with that edge fade
