Can someone help me with the right awning rail insert :)

[ospp90]

Hello guys I'm new here so I'm sorry if this has t been posted in the right place 🙂 I'm wondering of anyone can help me find the right awning rail insert/seal. I have a 2 birth alpine sprite xl that I'm renovating I'm unsure of the year it may be a 1992, basically at the moment I'm resealing all awning rails I'm currently on the j rails and the rails that lead round the roof, but I'm having a problem trying to find a replacement seal/insert for the these rails. I've looked every where online and can't seem to find the same seal as the one I've taken off! I had no problem finding herzim strip for the side and back awning but the one for the j rail and roof rail I cant seem to find as it's different, it seems to have a lip that sits in the groove between the back of the awning rail and the van which protects the gap/mastic tape. Any help would be really appreciated in finding this seal or another seal that would actually fit into the awning channel. I'll attach some pictures so you guys can take a look. Thanks again 🙂

Bit of a job to judge whether this is the trim you need?

Ospp90, are you putting new rails on or reusing the old ones? Older style rails were very standardised and shaped by hand as they were fitted. Perhaps, if you put new rails on, getting inserts to fit would be easier.

Just thinking allowed so to speak.
