Default Question..Door seals?

The driver side door seal at the very top of my O3 ZO6 needs replacing. Actually about 8' of it from the top front edge toward the rear of the cabin for about 8-9". This is the inside seal that covers the edge of the roof material header. Is this seal a two piece seal? What is the fix on this? Do I have to replace the entire seal or multiple seals or just a portion of it? And where do I get/buy it? Thanks

The one I'm looking for seems to be a large (thicker) one piece type. Starts below the front window and ends on the rear door jam. Maybe, I should take a closer look, but it looks wider and thicker than the one shown?

Your door seal on your z06 is all one piece. As you said it runs from the front to bottom back of window opening.
GM pieces are pricey, they can be found aftermarket also.
