The material looks just like the seal material and is water proof and uv protected. These are custom made to fit the different trailers so these companies may be a good source of material. Since the widths are much wider than our TM, you would not have to splice the material to get the proper length.

Walt, it really was not as hard as I had expected. First I removed the trim at the top that goes across the bag seal. then removed a just enough screws on each side trim piece so I could get at the corners.
The seal and the foam are held in by a TON of staples I mean there were so many staples it was unreal. Just remove the staples, I used a small screwdriver and a hammer and tapped under the staple to pry out a bit then used linemans pliers to pull them out. I did not do the side seals only the top outer bag seal. Getting back to your shade covers the wider length would be a plus, I think just chk to see what the weight is per foot of material, I was told 18.5 to 20 oz weight per foot is good material not too heavy and not too thin.
I have more pics , but I need to get another usb cable to download them as my cable failed. hope that helps
