Good luck with finding windshield bits. I have been searching for plastic trim for my Water Bonnet windshield since 2012. You may have luck at a boat salvage yard. I have a small piece that I have mailed all over the country in my search.

That’s a piece of unobtainium. I’ve been looking for about 20 feet of it.
A workaround is to use black silicone to fill channel. Clean the channel to remove dirt and grease, and then tape off both sides of the channel with painter’s tape. Apply the silicone, and then smooth it out onto the tape with a wet body filler spreader. Carefully pull the tape before it skins over and the job is done.

There is a flexible rubber molding similar to the insert on rubrails that fits perfectly into the base of the windshield where the hard plastic trim used to go. I'm not sure if that is the piece you are referring to as mine didn't have any wires running through it. It was quite a few years ago so I can't tell you any detail about it, but it does exist. I think I got it from a trim manufacturer in Fla that Formula might have referred me to. It was definitely not the original manufacturer of the filler piece.
