replacing window trim?

I've been thinking about trying to refresh the look of, or replace entirely, the trim on the windows in the main salon and lower helm of my pilothouse cruiser (Navigator). Anybody here have experience with this sort of thing? Attaching a few photos.

The problems are mostly that it's black trim that has gotten weathered and faded, and then also in some places there's kind of a felt-like inner trim (like where the windows slide) that basically is a place for moss to grow.

So there's a think plastic cover strip that peels off and it appears there are screws underneath that go into the fiberglass, and have some white sealant over them. I assume when I pull those out, I can pull off the rest of the molding.

Is this molding a standard part/material, and if so can anybody point me to someplace to buy it?

Re: replacing window trim?

When the glazier replaced glass in the aluminum framed windows of my house he

  • Removed some aluminum trim
  • removed the broken glass
  • inserted the new glass
  • replaced the trim
  • finally he used some sort of sealant in a cartridge. The black sealant set as if it was rubber.
