Default Weather stripping?

What is that stripping called on top of the roof. There's two 3-4 foot strips on the left and rights sides. It goes from front windshield to the back window.

I think Ford calls it a roof drip moulding.

Use a rag to protect your paint and then use a small screwdriver to pop them up. There are plastic clips that ride on rails inside the units. I popped mine off, sanded and repainted them as the price is nuts to replace them.

Maybe you could use 3M tape to help hold them down along with the clips....

Yes, the clips pop right back in as long as you dont break the plastic tabs.
