Leaking roof rack & trim question 200 1988

Hi all,

I'm working through my punch list of fixing little annoyances on my trusty '88 wagon that's gotta be around 300,000 miles now. Odometer broke at 222,XXX and that was about a decade ago.
Anyway,

A) The roof rack is leaking - I'm thinking I can a) buy gasket sheeting/cut new gaskets and try to put marine grade silicone up there. Any other tips? Or can I buy pre-cut gaskets somewhere? Alternately I can get the hole plug kit from IPD but I kind of like the roof rack even though I never use it

b) Door trim at bottom of door - best way to stick on some new trim? I found some trim at junkyard, peeled it off the donor car & want to make sure it sticks tight to my door. Tips/tricks to do it right?

Bonus question: experience getting a/c working again? Hasn't worked in the 12 years I've had the car, I'm just now getting around to figuring out why. There's no belt on it but the pulley spins freely. With warm summers coming and me now driving to work, I'd really love some a/c.
I'm not doing the a/c stuff myself but curious about cost and viability for those who've gotten theirs going again.
Thanks!
Susan
