Weather strip seals

I posted on here a while back about the holes in my floor pan from the leaky sunroof tubes. The sunroof tubes are not the only leak I found. I have taken almost everything out of the interior to find the other leak that was coming from the roof. It has been sitting empty and after the snow melted or it rained, more water was coming in. I found the leak coming from the plastic trim on the top for the luggage rack. I took It off to find all the seals falling off and they are no good. I have not had the holes in the floor fixed yet because I was not going to get it fixed until the water problem was gone. By looking online and talking with the dealer, it looks like you cannot order just the seals, because they come on the piece of trim. They said new trim pieces would have to be ordered, which cost $236 each. You would think there would be a way to have new seals put on, because seals don't last forever. Does anyone know if I can order generic automotive seals and do them myself? The seals on the inside are glued onto the plastic. The seal on the outside edge is pushed onto a small plastic ridge. Any help would be appreciated.

I would look at McMaster Carr for a variety of seals at a better price than most of auto supply stores.

Thanks, I went and looked at the seals and could not find anything that looked close. I attached some pictures of what the seals look like, I have looked on every website and can't come up with anything. I don't want to have to buy new trim pieces if I don't have to. The seals go on the same side, but are two separate pieces. The one seal for the rear section is wider.
