Awning rail
I'm planning to put some of this rail onto the top of my windscreen so that I can fit a 'Flintstone's Roof" occasionally.
This is the shape of the ideal stuff:
 
Awning rail
Trouble is - I can't find anyone who can sell it to me. 
I've done a search on t'internet and found a few suppliers... but they're all in the US of A. All my local suppliers
('local' including all the way to Norwich) sell the same stuff - not the type I wanted - they must all get their stuff from the same
wholesaler.
I lost the will to live after searching a few dozen caravan-related websites... "boring" doesn't describe them fully...
So does anyone know of a UK supplier who'd sell me a metre or so?

If you go to a caravan repair shop and ask they will probably have some kicking about. You probably only need a metre and that may be an offcut.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi
Most caravan dealers should sell awning rail.

Yes, most sell awning rail, just not that shape!

Piddy,
Look back at my previous post (that sounds ruder than it's intended to be ) - Blackburns no longer sell it, sadly, even though their website
says otherwise.
Martin,
I've tried just about all of the big names...
