rubber for drip molding

I was wondering if you can get replacement seals/rubber lining for the drip molding (the stuff above the windshield and doors)

I've done the best I could pushing what's left of the seal back in place under the trim, then filling the gaps with silicone. If you are careful it doesn't look to bad and at least it keeps the water out.

BD calls them rubber dums i think. They only have like two of them (one side for the top trim and one for the bottom so I wonder if you can just flip them around they will work. I thought they are just there to prevent the drip moldings from scratching the paint.
