Okay have a few questions concerning the mouldings around front and rear windows. The front has like a hard plastic trim that goes around the entire windshield...mine has split into like 4 sections. I don't know if there were clips that held em together...but there's about 3 or 4 gaps about a inch wide along the moulding. Also in the upper left corner where it split, the end flaps in the wind when I drive.

Now the back window has like a hard rubber trim around the window on the very outside, and it all lays flat near the trunk/quarter panel except one area, that kinda turned up.

All of these things...are they something I can replace myself..without having to take windows out? Also by them being damagde will I have leaks..haven't noticed any?

On to the side window mouldings..they start off flush near the mirrors but as they go up near the roof, theres a gap. Does this on both sides of the car. Is this normal, and can I replace myself?

Last, the rubber around my sunroof out side has a gap/split in it. With the sunroof back I can see clearly outside through the gap. How hard is that to replace?

Thanks for any suggestions.
