Question Using Round Bar to Shave Your Drip Rails?

I've been searching around and have decided to shave my drip rails. I've seen photos of people cutting, tacking, cutting, tacking...you get the picture. But I've also seen another post in which round bar was used and it gave it an even cleaner look but I can't find it again. Has anyone ever used round bar, and if so what size to shave thier drip rails?

I heard from someone that the drip rails, and I forgot the word he used, stabilizes or supports the top part of the car. Is this true?

Thanks.

BS! They just tie the inner and outer together.

Got any pics with the 1/8 bar Frank...I would like to see...I am considering this...Does it have any effect on the tightness or seal of the window when rolled up??
