Default Roof Rail Channel Seal Tip

The foam backing on my roof rail weatherstrip channel was still in pretty good shape on most of my pieces so they will be re-used. One piece needed replaced in entirety, one other needed patched. I found a product through Amazon that was as close to an identical match as possible - I honestly can't tell the difference. Why I obsess over stuff that will never be seen is unexplainable, but I know others in this hobby are the same way. So here a few pics of the product and what it looks like on the piece I patched and a piece that I replaced completely. Hope this helps other OCD guys

Yup! That would be me too. I searched for several hours a few years ago until I found the right tape and have never been happier. You can't see it but I know its there and looks correct. Thanks for sharing your find.
