Hi Curtisbuck: I certainly sympathize with your situation, I've been through this job twice, once on my own 1934 sedan and once when I helped with an installation on a 33 coupe. But I don't think I can be of much help as we knew in advance that the molding including the curved sections was not available so we very carefully and successfully removed the old molding and reused it, reputtied the screw holes after installing, and then painted the molding. Even today I'm not aware of that exact material being available but someone else may have more current information, or perhaps some techniques for forming an alternative material into a suitable shape.

BTW, the material isn't "vinyl", it's rubberized cotton duck or canvas-like fabric with a grain pattern.
