Default XJ6 Center Console Channel Trim

Anyone have a clue where I can obtain the material for this piece of trim ? No Moss does not have it ! Flexible chrome vinyl channel in the right size not easily found.

No specific suggestion. But if you Google "Chrome Edge Molding" you might be able to come up with a reasonably close replacement?

It's been so long that I don't remember where I got mine, but it's just as Doug's link shows. I got silver chrome.
It fits smugly around the plate, with a few notches to accommodate the curves and make it look OK (*Much* better than when it came to me!).
It would never pass Concourse but neither would the rest of the car! LOL

Default Edge Molding Uses

Couldn't think of calling it "Edge Molding" . Makes more scense in doing the search. I was using "1/8 inch flexible channel" ! Thanks to both of you & for the link.
5/16 seems standard for door edge. Might be a bit bulky but available at auto parts stores. Has been used before !

trv auto parts stores like NAPA, Autozone. Assuming you are in the USA.

look for the 3/16" finisher edging. ( 5/16" is used for door edges ). 3/16" is available.
