My car needs repairs, I know nothing about cars. Please help.

The seal has come part way off the top of the windscreen and the black trim coat on the roof and side of the door is breaking away. Any tips?

Doesn't the windscreen trim strip simply click back into place?

The other roof and window trim look like matt black painted, so guess they would need to be prepared and repainted.

I would be interested to know paint code for that matt black trim colour, as I have a small scratch I would ideally like to touch up.

If it was me - black silicone sealant for the windscreen

For the trims tape the paint, remove the rest of the flaking shit back to bare finish then a black metal cover type paint (no prime requirement) and then seal with a clear coat.

Of course you could remove the trim pieces entirely but this could leave you worse off if you damaged it.
