EPDM rubber is another alternative. We used it on 0578. It's black so it looks like a tar paper roof job or a painted tin roof, it can be purchased in 10 foot wide roles(no seams), and is easily glued and sealed.

Most cars have a drip edge in the nail strip where the roof covering folds over the edge.

Does your car have just a T&G roof. If so then doing something like the DRHS did is tour best bet.
