So do you need the top trim, and or scuttle panel (plastic trim where wipers are) and the roof trims that go down the sides of the screen?

you will need a new set of trim clips. Some windscreen fitters choose to bond the side mouldings rather than replace any broken clips.

If you have the screen changed, the fitter should bring a new top trim and a set of new clips for the roof trims as they break when removed.
