Default What is this molding piece called and where can I buy?

Getting ready to paint my 2001 xj and found two rubber weather strips I’d like to replace. Both are split. Looks like both are glued to the front leading edge to both rear doors. Each are 22 1/2 inches long. In diagrams of door moldings and weather strips I cannot find this particular one. Anyone have an idea what this piece is called or where I can buy? Next step is to run by a Jeep dealer and check if the parts dept. has any idea.

I have a parts catalog for 97-99
Weatherstrip B Pillar. 98-99 P/N: 55235 791AB
Looks like it will work either L or R side.

Thanks for that specific info. Helps narrow down the search. Unfortunately it looks like I’ll be scrounging around some salvage yards.Can’t find anything new out there yet.

Boneyard is probably your best bet and they are both the same for left and right.
1/2" double sided tape after you clean it up and good to go.

Salvage yards near me aren’t exactly friendly concerning knowing if any Jeeps there have any of these pieces that aren’t bad, split pieces. They are all about the big ticket items.
I found that when I pulled my bad ones off, most of the adhesive stayed on the door edge. Pain to clean off but if I do find some pieces in good shape, should be able to pull and clean the rubber easily and re-apply with some double sided tape.
Now just to find some!
