Default Unknown window rubber trim

Does anyone know what the name is of the rubber piece on the door. It prevents the rain from running down the window and into the the door. This piece is on the outside of the door. On older cars, it vulcanizes and gets really hard because it wasn't neoprene. I can't get a name for it because I'm trying to find replacements. I have a photo that I circled with mspaint. I also tried to put a note on it thru the site. I'm trying to find out what it takes to replace it. I'm guessing I'd have to split the door by drilling out all the spot welds and get one of those door deflangers that autobody people use. Any help on what the rubber replacement is called and how long it would take have been my burning question for months.

Outter window wipe. The wipe is held on by clips on the pre97's. I picked up 97+ for my rig, you just need to cut a slit where the front wing window is. It also does not use these clips.

There's sites on the Internet, that have replacements. Or try Quadratrac.com., Or Mopar/Jeep parts dealers. Might even look through E-Bay? As I recall there about $34.00 a window. Easy to replace. They get old, and weather cracked, allowing rain to get into the doors. Causing them to rust out at the bottom. I know I looked into these, But I can't find the site. In my favorites list, right now.

They're really easy to remove too. Just tap upward on the bottom of it with a blunt straightedge and hammer. It's called a "Glass Channel Seal" on 4wd.com, the part # is JEP55175353AD. Or go to 4wd.com > Replacement Parts (left column) > Door Parts > XJ Cherokee Door Seals. Honestly though you can probably find one in great condition at a junkyard for far less.

I'm actually stuck in Md for a while but I'm near where overland is. I found the pull it places (in md) here make you show up they say they have everything. You get there than pay an entrance fee and its crap. Its partly there, not there or unique and won't work for my jeep. Usually I'm never lucky when it comes to yards. I need something that will work because the bottom of the door is rusting out. I should have replaced it 3 years ago when I repainted the lower half with rust reformer, drilled extra holes and a new coat of grey along the bottom. I can't take it out of commission and get a welder/etc because I drive to much. So I'm going to look around some more.

IM RICH ! , I have grabbed a couple handfuls of these when mine started to crack at the junk yard for next to nothing !
If you need some and cant find them at your Junk yard Ill give em to you free, but you pay shipping. now the thing is ill have to dig and find them in my garage, which is a mess from winter and hibernation, if not it will give me a reason to go out to the j/y

X2, I think I've seen at least a dozen of those in good shape at nearby jy's. Can't believe 4wd charges so much more, that's ridiculous.
