Windshield frame repair panel

Does anyone know if new windshield frame repair panels exist and if so where I could get one? I have searched google but can't find anything.

The frame behind where the windshield rubber sits is rotten (only along the bottom edge) so I guess I am going to have to cut and bend some repair patches from sheet metal. If a repair panel exists that would save me a lot of time.

Thanks

I ran into a similar problem, and had to go to the jy to cut out what I needed.
