Replacement beading is better than nothing, but nothing beats the 
original. The original stuff is colored all the way thru. If you end 
up replacing it, paint it before you install it.

To reuse the original beading, don't try to roll it up. Store it 
either flat or let the short leg rest on something while the long leg 
hangs down with gravity. Reinstall on a warm day, but remove it on a 
cool day and keep it cool until reinstalling. Don't let it thermal 
cycle.
