Be careful when you remount the metal strip that the screws go back in the holes they came from. They go through the tack strip and actually penetrate the body of the car. If you don't get them back in the original holes, you'll have a leak for sure. This happened on my old convertible. I could not find out how water was getting into my trunk. I finally diagnosed it when I was doung a repaint teardown of the car and found that the PO had missed a hole when he had the top replaced. I'm not sure that the screws need to penetrate the body at all. I think that's overkill as long as the tack strip is securely fastened to the car. I welded up the holes in the body and used shorter screws that just went into the tack strip, not the body.
