Cracking trim strip along roof 850

My '95 850 was handed down to my 16 year old last August and therefore has spent the last 8 months of days and nights out in the driveway, after 11 years of being a garage queen.

Now I see cracks developing on the black trim strips that run the length of the roof panel (from windshield to trunk), with one spot where the black material has come off exposing the foam-like core. I think it's become very brittle and may not last through summer.

Any thoughts on a treatment I can put on that might restore some suppleness to the trim and halt further cracking?

thx

Doug
