FWIW, most of the time, in the auto' industry, those are called Roof Joint Moldings. The ones above the door glasses are usually called Roof Drip Moldings.

And of course my point is that it's painted in the render but rubber in RL production.

Manufacturers know that Roof Drip Moldings deviate from the traditional hardtop look that gives a car like this its sportiness, yet a Roof Drip Molding is useful since it acts as a gutter from water falling on the roof to stream it down the molding instead allover the sides of the window in the driver's line of sight. It is this reason why the RS package incorporates body-colored ones to give the illusion they're not there by making them stand out less. I like them more in the body color than in black.

Personally, I kinda like the way they look in black. Then again, I like little contrasting things like that.
