Driver Side Window Liner

Does anyone know where I could buy a new liner for my driver side window on my Vibe? One day over the summer I guess it was just really really hot and now the rubber liner that seals the window is all puckered. My window still closes just fine and no noticable gaps have appeared but I'd still like to replace it for an unpuckered liner.

I'm guessing you are asking about the run channel, the rubber that seals the glass to the door frame? You can get it from most online GM parts places or used from a salvage yard. Here is one:

Jeez. 76 bucks. They sure don't make cheap but I doubt I'd be able to find it cheaper anywhere else considering the vibe is out of production.
Thank you both for the links. I'll make this one of my next projects.

Sadly, parts weren't any less expensive when these cars were still in production! I need to replace the weatherstrip on both front doors, but just haven't felt like spending the money yet. The wind noise is growing tiring...

GM's official name is run channel. trb's link will give you the part number as well.

Two years ago with shipping, mine cost $85, I looked for two months on ebay etc for a new old stock piece, no luck. Appears, ts just one of those parts when you need it, you pay the price. When you put the new one, check the gaps on the outside window sill. I had to adjust mine to prevent excessive water running from the window inside the door.

Best to find the part on the dealer part sites, using the diagrams if needed, then put the GM part number into ebay.
