Vinyl Repairs

I am noticing the fitted vinyl on various interior panels is beginning to come away a the edges. In reality it has done well to get this far although it creates an unfair tatty appearance if not corrected.

Today I noticed the windscreen side trim pieces has the vinyl coming away on the front edge. The same problem has occurred on the RH passenger side panel where it bulges over the seatbelt retractor mechanism and gets hit by the sun.

Quite clearly it is shrinking and no longer has the pliability to handle the hot / cold temperature changes.

What are the repair options?

Are replacement panels prohibitively expensive in comparison?

Can panels be easily recovered with matched vinyl?

Thanks
