Does anyone know what this trim is, it is for upholstery?

Or where I can find it? It appears to be aluminum c channel of some sort. Do you guys think it is just C-Channel or maybe something with a coating or specifically for this?

They are using for the door slide.

Hard to tell from your pics, but it looks like anodized aluminum channel

Check with Orange Aluminum. I buy some other extrusion shapes from them. If I were making that console, I would machine that groove in the side panels when I made them or make the channel and attach to the side panel, depending on the materials.

Whose photos are those? Have you asked them?

If you want to help it slide easier, you can buy UHMW tape.

I think you might find that at ACE hardware. Aluminum U channel.

This seems deeper than most stuff.

I love that stuff. In this situation, I'd just cut the sliding panel out of UHMW, like King Starboard (or a generic equivalent).

That's what I'm thinking. My local Ace carries aluminum U channel sized to fit around standard panel thicknesses.
