Cracked A Pillar/Driver side leak
I have a crack on what I guess is the A Pillar plastic bracket? It looks like this (Not my car pictured, but the split looks similar and in similar location but further back).
Not sure if that's the right term for it, but anyway I don't get any leaks when it rains or anything but I noticed when using a touch free car wash a few days ago that the high pressure water when it hits the upper portion of the driver side window water is definitely getting inside. It's dark now, so I'll take a picture once it's daylight and show where mine is cracked, but I'm wondering what the part number is for this and where/if I can find a replacement? The rubber itself looks fine and does not look dried out or anything so my guess is the cracked outer plastic piece is where the water is getting in from.
Can I just replace that outer piece or do I have to do the rubber trim as well? Anyone know the part number for that piece?

I remember a while back these pieces were scarce and hard to come by. Lots of info if you search the Forum.
