Lower Hatch Trim Help

I am attempting to finish the hatch and I'm putting the trim on the outer edges (the kind that has vinyl inserts). Now that I have the sides of the hatch figured out, what kind of trim would I use on the bottom edge of the hatch? I have some of that black flexible trim that sort of clips on the edge but aluminum would look better. What would you suggest? Thanks

John, I used a piece of "T" molding from the local lumber yard to trim out the bottom of my hatch. It isn't a perfect 90 deg so I cut a 2x4 for my jig at the proper angle and bent one leg to match that angle. The soft "T" molding won't hold up so use the heavy stuff. :) Danny
