69-73 911 Targa door exterior molding clip to door surface protection

looking for 69-73 911 Targa door exterior window molding clip to door surface protection. Probably used on other years & models as well.
The fabric acts as a buffer between the molding clips and the painted door metal. It’s blackish; about 5/8"(15-16mm) wide and maybe 1mil thick. Looks like a cross between linen and a thin textured canvas. I have not found any reference to it in Porsche diagrams or manuals. Pics attached are a remnant of the original material.
Please let me know if anyone know a source for this or an alternate material. The material allows water and air to filter through it? I’m testing some ground cloth materials but would prefer the actual material if it exists.
Thanks!

I have never seen that tape sold as a replacement, but I have seen grey vinyl tape, similar to electrical tape, used as a replacement. I believe it’s only purpose is to prevent rattling. Rob

Asked around and have 2 recommendations.

#1 Black Cotton Friction Tape
+Made of cotton cloth and a rubber compound.
+Thickness: 3 mils
+Resists humidity and galvanic corrosion
+Rubber-based adhesive helps provide degree of protection from liquids and corrosion

#2 Black Gamma Tape
+Wicks moisture
- most rolls come pre-cut; shorter than the molding

Think the friction tape is probably the better solution.
Let you all know in 20 years if I had a problem! LOL

I think the gummy putty is a better option, It won't hold moisture. I forget what it's called but you can buy at most auto body/paint supply places.
