Technical What is this bit called, and where can I get a replacement?

[jbn]

While on the subject of things to make good in our new old 500c, please see below the fabric bit just below the soft top track circled in red that is badly stretched / rucked, and which we believe to be nylon and is very very tired. What is it called, and where could I source a replacement to smarten things up? it is separate from the cream headliner just below it.

Many thanks!

Possibly a better picture needed! Calling all soft top owners

Do you mean the seaming welt?

That's what we called that strip at Mazda when I worked there in the 90's anyway. According to Mopar it's a "trim lace".

THANK YOU @Piccolo Nero e Bella that is exactly the thing. Now to find a local Fiat dealer in Belgium and arrange to get the weather seals replaced!
