windscreen trim
« on: July 29, 2012, 09:35:29 PM »
Hi everyone.  My boat is coming along well,Thanks to the USA having everything I need and at great prices.  The one thing I am having a lot of trouble finding is the trim that goes into the bottom channel of the windscreen to hide the mounting screws.  Would appreciate any help to track this down. I have attached a photo of the moulding profile.

Kind Regards    Jonathon.

Hope you have better luck than I have had. My 86 Advance was missing the trim as well and I cant find it anywhere. Your profile is different than mine, so I hope its a little more up to date. If anyone would know Ron or Dan would. Good luck!

There were probably 4 different suppliers over the years & each was slightly different with their trim, all but 1 have gone out of business. I had the same issue with my '88 and simply found some black high density foam rubber weather seal, carefully trimmed it to the right width & pressed it in. This has been working fine all year.
