P30 Windshield Replacement Molding?

I've been doing a lot of research on getting the right molding to replace the old stuff on the windshield of an 88 Winnebago. It's of this style:



The old one is coming off and it just so happens, it's hard to find a direct replacement. I'm definitely looking for suggestions, and appreciate some help on selecting something that's going to be the best solution.

The strip being replaced looks like this, and its 1 1/2 inches wide.


The best molding I can find is on this site, and it seems to be more for a truck, but could possibly work.

    ok, thanks for the insights everyone! In the spirit of giving more knowledge for someone else searching this info out, I'll post the pics of where I removed the old moldings, and cleaned and prepped the surfaces for new.

    I've found a source for molding, probably going to go with UM-3011BR 1.25inch Flexline molding. Will need to scrape more of the older urethane out of the crevices to install and reseal the new molding while leaving the windshield in place. There is no channel that the tab fits in as I mentioned earlier, it's all urethane glue.

    Another vote for Steele. Used their products for years and they are far superior to other company's.

    Have you asked Winnebago?

    They, not the chassis maker speced and installed the windshield and molding.

    That company looks like the real deal in weatherseal products! I'll email them about this application, because I still don't see anything that's a match. They are also REALLY
     expensive.

    Take it to the body shop or glass shop. It probably made for a truck or a bus if you do not find it online.
