1979 corvette question

Hello guys, I have been a member of the forums for awhile and been using all the information to work on my 79. I'm am doing a full interior color change and weatherstripping. I have purchased the carpet from corvettecentral and I am waiting on the weatherstripping set. My question is what is this piece that lines the side by the doors? It appears to have the old carpet glued to it but the new carpet did not have this track. Is it suppose to or is it part of the weatherstripping? Or do I need to keep it and glue the carpet back to it? Any information will help.

Thank you I was going to trash it because it looked a little nasty but glad I did not.

While you're waiting for weatherstripping, why not order the 79 assembly instruction manual (AIM)? The AIM shows how the carpet was installed and the parts used. It could keep you from throwing parts in the trash.
