Bunk trim help

I have repaired some water damage to my bunk. I took off the trim that holds the top and side exterior fillon seam together. I disposed of it do to condition. I bought new trim molding, shaped like an L. The front of the bunk enclosure has a big curve and some angles, as typical. To bend the trim by hand would buckle the sides. How or where to bend this stuff.

    The trim is aluminum, the bend is typical for a class C overcab bunk nose.

    What material is the new trim? Can you describe the radius of the bends?
