Quoted from GroggyFrogFace:

I have a Williams Monster Bash that I am swapping the tranlite out for backglass from CPR. The original translite trim isn't quite wide enough to deal with the thickness of the glass and the tub insert panel (~3/16). All the trim I've found online, however, is not wide enough to block tub.
I know I'm not the only person that's ran into this, so if anyone has some ideas, I'd be very happy to hear them. Thanks in advance!

Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the trim JUST enough that you can push it onto the backglass. Had to do this on my TZ. No clue why CPR doesn’t sell trim or at least even MENTION this issue on the site.

It works - I was apprehensive at first, but it turned out to be pretty easy. Heat it up NOT on the back glass so it doesn’t overheat. But of course don’t overdo it so the trim doesn’t melt, you just want it soft

I took your advice and got it done, but yes, with apprehension. Turned out just fine. I will say it is beautiful! I think I’ll take the original and frame it. I really appreciate you chiming in.

Glad to hear it! How does it look? I should get one for my MB
