They're called "Window Seal Outer", there's a right and left piece and they're $57 each.
If you're a junkyard adventurer, you have other options.

I have a set that I can't use. I have a vert now and they don't fit. If your in North Jersey maybe you'd be willing make me an offer.

Don't purchase a new one. Take it off, peel and chip the rubber off of it, sand the metal underneath it, primer, then paint it a flat black. You'll never tell the difference and it looks as good as new.

I can take pics of mine if you're interested.

Take a few! I considered doing just that but didn't because I thought it would look odd.

that's what I plan on doing.

cuz a piece of plastic + thin sheet metal that's like 2 feet long cost like 50 bux a pop sounds ridiculous to me.

can you snap a pic of yours?

The whole point of that piece is to seal the glass...if you simply refinish one with bad rubber, it's not doing it's job.

Sure I'll grab a picture tomorrow (Thursday). Please bump this thread if I forget!

How can I tell if its not sealing? I know for a fact that that piece has never been replaced on my car, so maybe the rubber had dried and become inoperable because I never saw a difference after removing it then painting the metal.
