Door seal "U channel" that runs up the B pillar?

[Monty]

I can't make out the diagram in the larger parts manual.

What I need to know is what is the part # / name of the strip that sits behind the door weatherstripping and runs up the B pillar. I also believe it runs across the top of the door opening (and on top of the headliner) and down the A pillar. Is it the same a the window guid?

 

Any help would be appreciated .

Did you mean the pinch welt?

Pinch welt would describe it well.

And thanks

I've gone aftermarket with that in past-

McMaster Carr has a basketweave pinchwelt that’s not too far off OEM. Part #8451A63.  I got a 50’ roll, IIRC the car takes ~35’ or so.

Thanks Lucky,

 

I appreciate the help.

FYI: the pinch welt only runs up the B pillar & stops. The piece that starts at the A pillar runs over the door area, across the top of the B pillar and over the rear side window to the C pillar.

O2Les,  could you expand on the the piece "The piece that starts at the A pillar runs over the door area, across the top of the B pillar and over the rear side window to the C pillar.".

 

Name or part# ?

Thanks

I think this is what you're looking for, and IIRC it's sold by the meter, not in specifically cut lengths.  Looking at the sketch below (from Realoem.com), there's a single piece of pinchwelt that begins at the bottom of the front door opening's leading edge (abutting the forward edge of the sill door seal), travels all the way around the A pillar and roof, continuing along the rear quarter window and ending at the bottom of the Hoffmeister kink at the lower back edge of the quarter window. 

 

Then there's a separate, smaller piece that begins at the bottom of the door's trailing edge (abutting the trailing edge of the sill door seal) and runs vertically on the B pillar's leading edge to where it meets the longer piece at the top of the B pillar.

Yes, what Mike S. said.

 

Where the pinch welt crosses over the B pillar, the bottom of the pw is cutout.

Les, thanks for the picture. Yes, these are the (pieces) I am looking for. I have seen the diagram Mike posted and just couldn’t place it inside the car and behind the weatherstripping. But, I never said I was smart.

And a final even smaller piece on the trailing edge of the B pillar from the quarter window sill up to the top of the pillar. Three pieces per side.

Thanks to Les’s picture I was able to pick that up.

 

Thanks to all.
