Another convertible boot rail wanted

Somewhere in the restoration ordeal, the convertible boot attachment rail has gone "missing". The new universal ones aren't exactly blowing my kilt up for me.
Does anyone have a spare OEM rail?
Have cash.....will trade.

I believe he means the black thin metal tube type thing at the very top of the rear seat that the convertible top slides into. What year & model is your car? I might have a couple of them

Roger the boot rail being a thin metal type rail that attaches to ttheback of the rear seat. There is a round vinyl welt that slide into the open top of the rail to affic the front of the boot to the car.
The new replacements are a universal part that fir A Bodies 88s and 98s so at the least they have to be trimmed. Unfortunately, the dont fit the welt on the boot. I think the originals are just shy of 3 feet long and have 4 or 6 screws that atach it to the rear seat partition.
