Windshield and taillight trim

Hello,

I'm making a few small tweaks to my restored '85 RX7. At the top of the windshield there look to be three pieces connected together, and something in between the pieces and the roof. Most of whatever that is that abuts the roof is gone. I'm wondering if that is part of those three pieces, or something separate. Also, the black trim around the taillights looks kind of chalky. I asked my body shop guy about painting them and he said to find new ones. But I don't see them at Mazdatrix or Atkins. I'm attaching pictures.


If anyone has experience with any of this, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

That is a sperate piece that as far as I know is no longer available. I think they call it a "dum" or similar.

I sure DUM is some sort of acronym but not sure what it means.

The factory parts and service manuals can be found here for free. http://www.foxed,ca

No luck on finding the dums yet. I did find a source for the rubber molding around the tail lights and center piece. There is a fellow on Facebook in Australia that sells the set for $82 USD. He goes by "Fibremaz". Highly rated apparently.
