Default Hatch seal

In the past I saw an ad for a seal that would keep dirt out of the hatch area between the hatch main seal and quarter panels. Anyone know which type of seal this would be?

I've got a set installed and have had them for years. Works as advertised and no complaints from me.

That is a door edge guard. Not really what he is looking for.

But I did find this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393024162521I bit. Let's see how well it works.

That looks like it would work, I tried 9 mm and it's too small at the top corners. I going to order some and see how log the glue on the seal holds up.

Sounds like it would block any water drainage down the side of the hatch from the top to the drain port at the bottom of the hatch.

It doesn't, seal is installed up on the quarter not on the drain channel In theory It should keep water out as well. I'm going to cut the seal short about an inch at the bottom.
