2003-2009 are the exact same body style. Only major differences are headlights, grill and slight differences in front fenders body wise, for the most part. So yes, they fit perfectly.

*corrected some information*

The head lights aren't the only differences, the wheel wells/fenders are different as well, the 2003 to 2005 are more flat at the top of the wheel wells, the 2006 2009 are rounded at the top of the wheel wells, the cladding is also different, not that any of these differences affect the hood, the hoods as mention are the same shape other than a scoop on the Sport model.

Gotcha. The point was tho, that the roof is the same through all the years and that the part numbers I listed will work regardless of year.

These are just trim pieces, they will not stop a leak, your leak is another issue!!

If I were to put new ones on, I'd probably use some silicone to ensure they don't fly away again.

Thanks, you caught me before I could delete. Further research and perhaps it’s just a coincidence that this weather strip is also missing. I’m wondering if it’s a seal gone bad under the front driver side roof rack Mount (stock room rack, never modded, and just started, possibly die to age)

The price in 2023 is outrageous, $80+ from any dealer, for a single piece

One of mine is gone too. Didn't even notice it for a while. I've done the roof rack delete and have no leaks without them there. It might collect more leaf debris though
