Default Roof/window moulding trim?

Just signed up, dad doesn't drive his stock 97 sport 4x4 so it's going to be not new toy. I went to the dealer to see if they have some moulding but it's been discontinued. Can anyone help me out? Thx

The roof one I am guessing is fine. Just needs to be put back on with some double sided tape. The door I believe to be this one:

Says it can be bought but many times you place the order and then get an email saying there inventory was wrong and don't have the part. Probably better off just painting it though.

Moulding tape worked pretty well, hopefully it'll last.

Just remove and repaint. If the coating wont peel easily, use a heat gun to soften it a little. Scuff them up, and spray with plastidip. They bend easily so take care removing them. But if you are replacing them with new, no worries. Just take note of which one goes on first as they overlap in the corners. For the roof strip, remove as much of the old adhesive as you can for better stick. Use a 3M adhesive for body moldings and fender emblems from the parts store. Follow the directions and you shouldnt have any issue.
