Not Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I lost this part recently on the driver's side. The metal trim/guide/molding that is above each passenger window. What is it called? I've been trying to find a replacement online and can't come up with the right search terms. I keep getting results either for a) for the rubber seal that goes between the door and body or b) the outer plastic molding that goes around the windows.

This was where the roof skin was typically spot welded to the rest of the body. On modern cars, the roofs are glued on. That’s why lots of them have a rubbery strip above the doors. The drip rail molding covered up the seam.
Eagle Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Get a length of stainless gutter trim off a Cherokee and (pardon the pun) trim it.

I bought some raingutter trim rails for an XJ from Team Cherokee, and then I cut them down and trimmed/bent the rear edge of the rail to wrap around the trailing edge of the body seam. I attached the rails to the body with flexible body adhesive I bought at the local auto paint supply house.
dasbulliwagen Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 The attaching clips for these are available from teamcherokee as well, youll need a pkg of them too.
