Where to buy exterior trim?

Looking for the solid trim pieces used to tie roof to nose cap, and any place there is a joint in filon or roof. 8' wide X 1 1/2. - 2 inches wide with spaced screw holes. Does not require vinyl insert. Looks like cleaning mine off will require lots of time removing the sealant. I cant find them anywhere. Need to be white.
Thanks
  • Not sure what it may be called today, a few years ago it was called the roof termination trim.

    Searching online I didn't find it by that name. Allrite has all kinds of trim but not that one.(that i found)

    The last I bought, I picked up at Bontrager's in Michigan.

    I'd probably try the local dealers next.

    A simple way to clean that is to make a soaking pan out of aluminum foil. Pour enough mineral spirits in, 1/2 inch or so, to cover and wipe it off every 30 minutes or so until clean. Lets you do other things while the mineral spirits does the work.
  • The flat seam cover seems to be the hardest to locate
    Bing 'RV aluminum trim' came up with lot of options. An rv dealer/repair shop would be good source- might save some on ship
    On line just random pull to verify style
    Ebay vendor

    Cleaning old trim bit of effort-putty tape not too bad, simple paint thinner. But does take time.
