The parts you show in pictures 3,4, and 5 are finish strips that go on after the top material. The strip with the cover in final pictures looks similar to the stuff sold by Juliano's. Can't really tell from picture 2 if it is the OEM tack strip or a replacement from the past.

The original tack strip was steel incased (open on top) fibrous material that sat in the channel and was almost level with roof, the top material was tacked down, the final trim as shown installed, and then a rubber strip was pressed into the groove.
