Try Kronke Inc in Hayward CA for awning supplies. Most hardware
stores have grommet kits, the ones you should get are spur grommets,
and Kronke has them.
Got a grommet kit and a gross of grommets from ahh.biz. American made, and
same day shipping. I'll check out Kronke for the trim. Ahh doesn't carry
it. It's just like shadecloth, but thicker, and more UV resistant.
