Need help bending edge molding

Hi everyone,
We're just about finished with taking out the front window and replacing all of the rotted wood on the Lance. The new metal is in place. I also bought new molding for the outside edge. I tried putting it on last night but when I come to the rounded part at the nose the molding will buckle. the front leg of the molding is 1" and the side leg is 1/2" which is the same size as the original but this new edging seems a little bit thicker.
Any suggestions on how to get it to bend without buckling?

thanks, we're excited that it's almost done. We're leaving for Wyoming in three weeks so I need to get this wrapped up.

You need either a metal bender or shrinker/expander. Here is one from HarborFreight .
