51 chevy truck , removed original track, going to wrap foam rod in vinyl for windlace, original plan was to just glue it around the door opening , it would also be held on by abs panels , but not sure if i need something more substantial…? Such as making the tack strip out of wood or the thick cardboard to staple to,,,,so question, opinions and where can i get the cardboard? Whats it called?

Automotive trim shops have "door cards" that are good for a bunch of stuff. They are heavy, water resistant and take staples very well. The windless will be pushed every time the door is closed. I do not believe glue will do the job. I recommend getting a door card and cutting it to fit, fasten to the body as firmly as possible then staple the windless to it.

I had the upholstery guy take a piece of welting cord and cover it with vinyl then sew it to the tab of the windlace on the body side. When I installed

the trim panel, the welting was pressed up against the edge of the jamb. Second pick was OEM windlace had a hard piece of nylon sewed on.
