Lew, I do not have a source for the "correct" moulding, but what I used

on my car is a heavy staircase edge moulding, in alloy, which has a

small curved fold-over on top, and a curved outer edge. It is very

sturdy, and polishes up well with brass polish. I can send a pic of it

if you like. Of course, Murphy's law being what it is, it is probably

not available your side of the pond!
