This is a "T" shaped moulding that gets pounded into a groove made in the
edge of the (ply) wood.  Try Outwater Plastics (NJ?)  I don't know if they'll
sell to individuals.  Also, as I recall from my cabinetmaking days, they may
only sell in bulk, like 500 ft rolls.  List vendors...?
A local cabinet shop will likely have some laying about.  Come to think of
it, I may have some (my dad was a cabinetmaker), though what I'd have does
not have the thickness at the top of the "T" that our Westys have.  I'll have
to see if I can find an Outwater catalog in my dad's stuff.  I'll check on
any "T" moulding in the barn while I'm at it, and will report back to the
list when I've done so.

 <<Also... the setup on my Westy is just light brown fabric curtains strung
over
 aluminum almost flat (they have a groove in the face) stringers over the
 windows. Now it doesn't make sense to have people advertise curtain rings for
 this type of setup so is this just not standard? It looks good. >>

FWIW, my Westy has the same alum. stringers.
