What is this part?

This came back from the sandblaster with the 22 Touring parts. It kinda fits the back top edge of the body but I don’t remember removing it and I don’t see it in any “before” pictures. I’m lost like an Easter egg. Thanks, Art

Looks like the piece that holds the top material around the back edge of the rear tub. Most are missing, so a lot of cars just have hidem welt.

Thanks Mark, That is where it fits. How is it attached? Can someone post a picture of one installed? Art

It's attached with the 90 degree bend facing down, centered side to side, and is held with #8 x 3/4 slotted oval head wood screws, raven finish steel. Black oxide would be the closest modern equivalent to raven finish.

Thanks RV, The coils you did for this one are still in the box but I'm getting there. Art

Great find. I believe that part is not reproduced.
I just found one cleaning out a friend's garage.
