For somone to properly reply they need more information.
What year is your coach?
Do you still have original windows?
Which widow trim are you looking for?

I need some too. I have a 77 with orig windows for now. The white flexible trim is just too kinky. I need to try to leave it in the sun for a few hrs before I try again, but in case it does not work, need a source too.

What about the new windows? I will be replacing my front two...

Great timing on this inquire.

I'm redoing the inside, with OEM windows, and 2/3 of the window trims are history.

At the GMCWS rally I saw a few coaches with the white rubber trim, it looked good, of those that I asked they didn't know of a source for it. The trim was in when the coach was bought.

Any problems with the white rubber trim?

Thanks for any help.

JoAnne.
I bought some black trim at a utility/horse trailer dealer in Arkansas -- it is often used on fenders and cut-outs to covered the edges. I would think you might also find it at an auto upholstery shop that installs after-market sun roofs. They would be more likely to have colors.

I purchased black interior trim, designed to snap over exposed "raw" edges from Bontradger's RV surplus. J.C. Whitney has similar products. I would check locally with an automobile trim shop, or boating supply outfit. These products are designed to snap-on and give a finished appearance to exposed edges. They will not cover the vast territory, covered by the OEM trim.
The white snap-on plastic trim in my coach is way past its last legs.

Thanks for that site Jeff. I have the new style windows but beside the driver's and passenger seat there is a piece of trim missing.

They have a Canadian warehouse and website where they show 25' rolls, no doubt for the same cost as 200' in the US.. Rolling Eyes

YES
the problem is that your windows were not designed to use it. There is a groove in the aluminum extrusion of the window frame that the white rubber trim goes into.
You don't have this on the earlier windows.

The hatch seal at that site
http://www.trimlok.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=27

sure looks like it would work well on our GMC motor hatches.

But 250 feet at $300+ dollars would require several motorhomes to use a roll up.

Though they do not have all the trim listed, you can buy smaller lengths (10 ft. and up) from McMaster-Carr.

Bruce,

I know about the trim lock (it also goes by other names) I saw it in black and brown.

The white insert I saw at GMCWS looked like a "U" channel with a horizontal lip at the bottom of the U, like this (U▬). The horizontal lip covered the gap between the panel and the window channel, thus creating a nice finished look. And after all, looks does count.

Maybe Jim B. might know.

Thanks for all your inputs.

May 31st I asked for suggestions. Using the info you guys gave I placed an order with TrimLok, they do not keep it in stock it is manufactured when you order. Therefore it took 14 days to get it. FABULOUS! I have a pic of it installed but do not know how to post it. I got the white, sand texture 1/2 inch wide # 1375W7X1/2. I put it over masonite wallboard with the foil airbubble insulation. Tapped in with a leather hammer! I'm lovin it!
