Sorry... guess I missed something here
Thanks Ted,
Can you help me zero in on what track you're suggesting? I see several on their page. Keep in mind that the "up-facing" part of the track needs to be flat so the pool cover can run back and forth over it.

Were you able to find the track that you needed?

Hi... no, Cover Pools couldn't suggest a solution. I'm going to post one more picture showing how flat the top section needs to be. The pool cover literally rides over it each time it opens and closes. That's the dilemma. Nothing I've seen so far online simulates it. Also, the fact that it's 16' long is unusual compared to the 4' and 8' sections most companies sell.
Thanks for asking...

Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to find the coping that matches what you had, as you haven't already.
Fortunately, the tracks i gave you the link to will be able to do the job. As you are, understandably, worried about wear on the cover, you can either go with the plastic receiver or use the 'side mount' track. Either way, you would want to cover the exposed toprail of the panel. I think that tile, possibly bullnose, would do what you need.
Don't sweat that the pieces aren't 16' (2 X 8= 16) & 2 8s are slightly easier to install
I wish I lived close enough to you that I could just stop by one afternoon and take care of this for you! It would honestly be a few hours work for me to do this. If you DIY, it might take ~ 1 1/2 days, owing to have to learn some new skills, but this is certainly a weekend project you can do yourself!
Please keep us informed as to your progress and ask any questions you have.
Luv & Luk, Ted
