Cruiser question

[Chiefchase]

What are these little rubber strips from? It was like this when I bought the car. I’ve got a feeling it’s little plastic strips to protect the roof, but I have no idea what that part would be called

That's the remaining adhesive that was left after the PO ripped off the rubber/plastic "roof protectors". Peel it off and move on. You can use WD 40 to help it release and scrape it off or sand it all off and Monstaline the exterior of the roof in white.

Yep, I second that notion.

I'd use a "pinstripe removal tool" which is my goto for adhesive removal and which would pull those off pretty quickly/easily using your cordless drill. A pinstripe removal tool followed by a wipe with denatured alcohol should have that completely off without damage to the paint and with minimum effort.
