Default Need Help Identifying Part - Seal on Door Bottom

I’ve been searching online parts catalogs trying to identify what looks like a seal or some sort of weather stripping. Mine has started splitting. I’ve had no luck.

I finally decided to take a picture. Maybe someone here can identify it. It as though it fits between the outer door skin and thinner door. There are screws along the bottom of the door. Maybe that is how it is held in place.

Unfortunately , the piece is black and the door is black, so it’s hard to make out.





Any ideas?

Thanks.

Driver's side exterior trim. Looks like what on my car is called "Door Molding (Lower)" but to be sure you'd have to say more about the car we're looking at.

My first guess was it's the door seal but usually those are on the car body, not like in your second picture.

Somehow I missed your response. Sorry...It's a 2012 Audi A3 Quattro. Let me know if additional details would help.

I have the exact same car. Did you ever find the part number or compatible replacement for it? The exact same issue is happening to me on the driver's door (Front Left).

I looked for the part on several Audi dealership parts sites and was unable to find the part. If you happen to find it please let me know.

Thanks.
