Default Window molding

Hey fellas! I have been perplexed by this one particular situation with my window molding. This one piece has been missing and I tried to get it from a salvage yard and I did get something that looked exactly like the one on the other side, however it didn't fit at all. It looks like it's slightly larger actually. I scoured the internet and I'm sure that I was calling it the wrong piece which is probably why wasn't able to find any trace of it. Would there be a specific name for this piece? Would anybody have an idea where to get it? The rainy season is nearly here and it's basically a direct water Flume into the innards of my door, so I would like to prevent that. Thanks in advance for your help

Here's a piece that I pulled off what I thought was a 2000 in the salvage yard.

If there is a better way to do it than using this plastic piece, please post the link. Thanks very much.

It's called the outer belt molding.

.
It could be from PUTCO via Amazon ---> they called the 4-pc kit Window Trim.
What year is your truck?

Looking at the pic you posted methinks you've got the chrome passenger side (rear door) trim piece on the drivers side back door. The blunt straight edge should face the front of vehicle and with the "pointy-end" at the rear.

It's a 2000.. No chrome to speak of (!?)

Seems like the AMs do away with the separate plastic sweeps, which is fine by me! Thoughts?

Thanks for pointing that out. This piece is proving to be a bear to find.
