MG TD TF 1500 - Upholstery Tape

In the upholstery kit, I have no idea what this tape is for. 7/8th inch wide and looks like aprox 10 foot long. Any clues? PJ

I think it is stapled or tacked around the inside edge of the side curtain box lid vinyl ?

Yep..edging for the felt on the inside of the side curtain lid.

My original interior has that strip at the edge of the vinyl inside the curtain door about 2" from the edge.

An alternate way.

The attached pix is on a TD.
What I wish to point out is that there is no need for staples which can rust a look bad, unless you use SS staples.

In my case I attached the tape to the felt with contact cement before installing the felt. and then attached both the felt and the tape with contact cement.
No staples, or nails and no potential future rust.

Just my approach.
