You may have to cut the strips out of say an 8x11 sheet. Easily done with a straight edge and knife. If you remove the damaged strip. Bring it to a hobby shop and match it up as far as thickness. A little thicker wouldn’t hurt. To glue it in place. You will get different opinions as to what works best as far as glue. I really like a product Micro Mark sells. Not cheap. It’s called PSA. You brush it on the car body and let it dry. It will setup tacky. Looks like white glue going on. Then when you place the strip in place. Because the glue is already set up. Nothing oozes out around your windows when you press the strip in place.

I repainted a MTH car. Destroyed the window strip removing it. Cleaned off the factory glue. Used some clear plastic and the above mentioned glue.
