I think there is a female extrusion thats used for the frame against the fibreglass, and a male extrusion thats used as a frame around the glass window. When the come together is forms the weather seal.

Mick, give brian a call - he had a few lwb fibreglass originals last time i was there - maybe he'll let you look at how its done? at least then you can do a measure up etc.
