Help identifying trim

As the title says I need help on trim identification. I've got 150' of Eternabond on order for all the roof seams and 4 tubes of non-sagging dicor for the rest. While there hasn't been any previous leaks and none currently I am being preventative. Having said that some of the beauty trim is missing from where the aluminum panels come together. It appears it's purely cosmetic but I am going to go through and do my best to get this 27y/o rig looking like new. Here is a pic.



It is missing in various places and has shrunk in others. I'm not concerned with it matching just that it gets put back into place. I'd be willing to buy used sections from a junked unit if possible. Thanks all for the help!

Some RV Dealers keep a limited stock of it. I bought some locally from an RV Dealer to use on a boat, and it was a lot cheaper than $2 per foot.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the stuff in the link would not work. I've looked at the boat rub rail and I'm pretty sure it will work. It's flexible and there is various widths and ways it sits within the rail. I'll measure the width on mine and look to ebay for the correct style. The stuff is not cheap. About $2 a foot so I'll buy enough to replace whats missing plus a little bit for future needs.

I think we're looking at two different things. The trim the OP has is a semi-flat rigid plastic molding that doesn't bend. It comes in straight lengths and is cut to fit. The very flexible vinyl continuous stuff used on many of our RV's is a different product but would at least maybe fill the channel.

THANK YOU!! Looks like rub rail will work. I looked at the insert on the link but it does not look thick enough. I think the boat rub rail will work wonders!!

It's called "insert molding."
Available lots of places in a variety of colors.
Tip: heat it in the sun or with a hair dryer/heat gun or in a bucket of very hot water while installing it. Makes it a lot easier to get into the track.

There's probably a different rv name for it, but if you go to ebay and search for rub rail or boat rub rail you'll have lots of choices to choose from.
