I saw these but I'm hesitant to buy them because I have no idea if I can actually change them out or not:

Has anyone done this repair?

Mine are stretched out due to the first owner having a hard top on the car for three straight years. Every time the top is raised I have to manually tuck the sides into the channel. The elastic is also all stretched out, which would have to be replaced too, but that's another issue altogether.
