Interior window trim

We bought a 1978 31ft Airstream. It has had a great deal of restoration work, but needs some things improved. They removed the skins and insulated, but they did not trim the vista view windows. All of the other windows have an aluminum trim. Can trim be purchased somewhere? If not, has anyone created a nice trim for them?

The vista view windows had a plastic trim piece that had a piece of aluminum that slide up or down to block or let light in. It’s no longer made.

I have 2 vista views on my 74 argosy. I made new trim pieces out of 3/4 aluminum angle and aluminum sheet. I used a metal shrinker to form the curves and riveted it all together. I tinted the windows to block the light.

I painted mine and had to add an upper patch. The interior skins did not line up correctly. I curved the patch. I should have kept it more square. Yours interior skins look like they line up so a patch would not be necessary.

So the pictures are sideways. Can’t figure out why it always does that.
