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.

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!
