Hello gang,
One of these days I'll figure out how to post a photo in here. The work I've done is pretty extensive starting from a gutted coach. I'm soon going to have to change my signature from "gutted" to "getting there".
Anyway, I'm now on to panelling the walls. I've seen some posts regarding products used for around the window frames. Trim-Lok seems to be a popular choice but it's difficult to acquire up here in the great white north - and expensive. I don't mind spending the bucks if the product is exactly what I want but I'm unsure of the sizing and fitment as I don't have the factory stuff to compare too.
So question #1. Did the original trim fit inside the window channel, or just around the wall material? This will affect the grip width size I need to order.
Question #2. Disregarding grip width; do we know of any products that have a similar leg length? Most I see are around 1/2" and it looks like factory is closer to 1". I feel like 1/2" might not look quite right.
Oh, and to get extra picky, the wife wants white trim.  I could paint if need be.
Thanks in advance as always!
Stay safe.

The aluminum around the window has a groove that the original trim’s tap fit into to hold it in place.
I think Jim Kanomata of Applied GMC might have some original trim available.

I did notice a very shallow groove. Maybe 1/16-1/8 deep. Good to know - I had hoped to tie the window frame and wall panelling together.

Well I called today. $6 USD per foot. $6 x 75 feet is $450 plus $50 for shipping I'm sure. That makes $500 plus duties, probably $100 at least. Thats $600. After exchange, we are getting close to $900. That's a hard pass for me.
Anyone have any other alternatives??

IMHO, you need valences around your windows to keep their coverings tight
against the outer walls. Those conceal the edges of the wall panelling
enough that I didn't worry about finishing them -- and haven't regretted it
for 22 years.

Not to a large degree... When importing to Canada, these are the new limits:
From: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/services/cusma-aceum/lvs-efv-eng.html
For a shipment imported by mail, the following still applies:
* $20 and under: duty and tax free when imported from any country
* Above $20: duties and taxes apply when imported from any country,
including the US and Mexico
For a shipment imported by
courier^
:
* Imported from any country (other than the US and Mexico)
o Up to $20: duty and tax free
o Above $20: duties and taxes apply, *excluding* the US and Mexico
* Imported from the US and Mexico
o Up to $40: duty and tax free
o Above $40 to $150: duty free, but taxes still apply
o Above $150: duties and taxes apply
Many people refer to "duty", when quite often only import sales tax is
due. But in either case - the carrier may charge a brokerage fee (which
can be substantial!)...

You say you called today. Who did you call?
You should be able to find original trim from someone parting out a GMC.
As to import duties isn’t there an exemption for antique vehicle parts?

For that much, you can drive down to Fremont, pick up the trim, and drive
home.

I spoke with Jim who passed me over to Nick.
It's hit and miss with the duties. More often than not, when I've ordered from Applied, I've been hit with duties (and brokerage fees as Rob mentions). The packages are usually labelled "antique parts" or something similar.
I think I'm going to go the Trim-Lok route and abandon the idea that I'll be able to tie in the window frame. Ken brings up a good point, whatever is done will be largely covered by window coverings.

There might not be any "duty" - but cross border shipments into Canada will have sales tax added (which allows the brokerage fee to also be added)!
But it's a "your mileage may vary" situation - sometimes things show up and have zero fees added! I've had fees added when not applicable - so I have to put in paperwork to get them refunded. It's a big PITA.
It's especially problematic when you're located on an island surrounded by a 20+ km moat (like myself!)... The moat was handy during 2020, however.

Agreed Rob. Forgetting all that. The exchange is often time costs prohibitive on its own...

I'm not sure I'll go this route but I always try to use this forum to provide as many options or answers to queries as possible for the next guy. I found this;
http://www.gmccoop.com/gmc-motorhome-interior-wall-trim/
The quality of pictures isn't great but it's a direct answer to my question. I may give Mr. Bounds a ring next week to get clarification.

if Bounds has done it and it worked, do that. Or have him do that depending your pocket - it's labor intensive,
