Wing Piping. Rear wing RN

If it t is typical of so many cars you may regret having had a look or attempting! At least in the past the area seemed incredibly prone to rusting. 
The original beading was a canvas/fabrid type, not smooth plastic And not white!

Yes mine is canvas/fabric but is breaking up badly in places. I don't think I want to pump some gunge in but am afraid that water will penetrate and cause further rusting underneath the piping. I was hoping that if the wing can just be released away from the body and new piping slipped in and the threaded rivets done back up OR is that feasible? I read that the rivets have to be clouted with a cold chisel! Seems a bit drastic.
