I am searching for the pin/staple on trim beading that surrounds the door openings on the P3. So far the samples I have received from the usual suppliers look too bright and the material too modern. Does anyone know if the woven textured look trim bead is available, which looks superior ?

These had magnets sown into the lining to hold them in place and they worked reasonably well. I have seen similar for sale on line and wonder ...
