This was definitely OEM weatherstrip as it disintegrated when I tried to get it out, unfortunately when it went bad the PO saw fit to just add some sticky stuff under it so I removed the channels to clean them out.

The drivers side vertical trim was in this order. The A post & windshield glass, the middle reveal trim against the glass, the outside trim that holds the weatherstrip.

There are 3 pics and 4 questions, a gasket ? a bend ? and a rivet

PIC 1. The first pic is the inside trim against the A post and glass, it looks like it has some type of gasket about the size and texture on eletrical tape, Should I replace, try to keep it in place ??
PIC 2. This bend does not look oem, but I never noticed it it was bent. Nothing else is bent. Would you leave it or try and straighten ?? it is the outside trim that holds the weatherstrip, the existing channel, even with the bend, looks good enough for the weatherstrip.
PIC 3. There is a thin rubber gasket with a sticky bottom underneath the trim across the top that goes from door to door. There is also a thin rubber between the reveal and outside trim pieces. Would you think this OEM ?? Is there a standard sticky back rubber trim??
4. Which sealant ?? With all the bends and extra sealant from the PO this looks like it has been resealed before. This sealant would be for the A post to reveal trim and reveal trim to outside trim, not the weatherstripping itself. Did RTV and weatherstripping in a tube replace these old rubber seals ??
I am of course trying to find the answers as we speak but any experience would be appreciated.

Not sure if you've got it all off but care should be taken when dealing with the trim. Years ago I wanted to buy the 3 trim pieces but at $900,I passed. I do have one NOS piece somewhere. There is a thin tape like piece that is attached to the trim.
