Default Hard Top Trim Piece

My painter said I need a new trim piece for around the front of the removable hard top,

He said he will pull it off and it probably wont be reuseable.

Are these available anywhere?

I thought they were reusable unless they break off.No idea if anyone sells them by itself...just see if he can get it off and reuse it for now,unless someone else posts here a source that has new ones.
Hope the new projects are coming along great!

without any damage at all.

I used a wooden paint stir stick and bumped it along the entire length of the trim piece a couple of times and it slid right off. It is held in place by pressure. I then stripped the paint and had it powder coated black.
