Anyone know where to get spare windscreen trim for a Chim?

Had my windscreen swapped out yesterday by the only people my insurance would pay more that £50 for, and now the roof panel doesn't sit flush with the top of the screen (it is TVR glass by the way). They reused the original trim, but tell me they probably can't do that again when they refit it - grrr. The replacement trim that they can get hold of is narrower than the original (hence why they reused the original) I knew this would all end in tears - anyone know where I can get a replacement trim that is as wide as the original?

Check TVR power. I think they do one...

Yes, they sell it by the metre but it's straight and straight off a roll. It's NOT, as far as I can discover, moulded to the shape of the windscreen so you have issues at both top corners with it wrinkling and kinking on the insides of the curve.

You don't expect it to come curved do you?

No, I don't 'expect' it is - I know it isn't!! I know it's not curved/moulded to the shape of the screen and was pointing that out to anyone who may have assumed it was.

When such items were more easily obtained, a set/kit of windscreen rubbers shaped/curved to fit was used. As I understand it, there's no remaining stock of these available.

Didn't know that.
Sorry
