I have a 1998 Ford Contour SE V6. There's 2 rubber strips that go from from to back on both the left & right sides of the roof. I'm not sure what the technical name of the pieces are, but both need to be replaced due to dry rotting & peeling upward. I'm posting some pics of the pieces & their condition in hopes that someone can assist in where to buy the replacement. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the site Kitty Cat..

It's actually the roof trim molding.

It serves 2 purposes, 1 being a trim to cover over the pinch weld area where the roof panel is spot welded on, and as a water drip channel. I know there are carbon fiber look and chrome available aftermarket as a peel'n stick replacement. Amazon, eBay and JC Whitney and such have them I believe. As far as the original equipment type, would be dealer only as far as I know..

 

Is there 2 pieces for each side that I need to get? Looks like there is, but I don't know what the item numbers are for them.
