Default How to Cover the Pinch Seam?

The pinch seam drives me nuts...You can see it through the rockers and it is just annoying. Has anyone found a piece (Home Depot? Automotic store?) plastic or hard rubber cover in black about 1" wide that can be slid over this? Might look better.

I have so many problems to worry about...

I have tube rockers that attach to the frame, and yeah you can see the pinch seam clearly, or at least I could, if I was a pansy and washed the inch of mud off my Jeep.

I think Toad got an aluminum strip from lowes and painted it black, then used 3m 2way tape to attach it to her pinch seam. I cant find it though I swear I saw pics of it
