Default Door piece replacement

I need to replace the rubber seal that’s on top of the door right where the door meets the window. Does anyone else new ones anymore? If not does any year (1993-2002) Camaro or Firebird part fit it? This is on a 1997 Pontiac Trans Am.

Hawks and classic industries usually have these types of parts as aftermarket pieces

That is called a window sweep. Beware of quality issues and install concerns with aftermarket replacements:

I got mine at the junkyard pretty cheap. It took a while to figure out how to get it off, but it was worth the price savings to me.

Take off the mirror and put the window down. Then lightly push the rubber strip towards the glass and pull up at thessame time. It's easier to start at the back and work forward. All together there were about 6 clips or so. The front clips around the mirror mount are a pain, but it's doable if you're patient.
