    Anyone can tell me where I can find that rubber door seal for the front passenger door?

    The guy who installed the door protectors didn't do the rear right one correct and it was sticking out a bit. I didn't realize it till I tried to open the door and couldn't. So the door was bent a little bit and the door seal torn. So I'll have the body shop fix it next week. Was wondering where I can order the door seal from.
    Thanks.

    I guess I'll have to answer my own question. The door seal (weatherstripping) is sold in any AutoZone or similar automtoive store for a few bucks.
    I already replaced it, straightened the front passenger door and ordered the rear passenger door side moulding. All is left now is to remove the old door protector and put the new one once I get it. It'll look like it never happened, because the only paint damage was under the weatherstripping, so that's the good news. The dealership body shop wanted $920 to fix it... It was either that or I fix it myself for $30 total and about 20 minutes work. I chose the latter.
    In case anyone ever needs to replace the side moldings, the way to do it is, use a heat gun, a strong string and an adhesive remover.
    And by the way, if you look around on the Internet, you can find the side moldings for considerably less than they are being sold on this site.

    Do you always poison the well from which you drink? This site is supported by advertising. No one is forcing you to patronize the businesses who pay for the operation of this message board, but it is uncool to actively turn other customers away from them.

    Also, based upon your pictures, it is quite apparent that the side moldings that you purchased are considerably inferior to those offered for sale by the PriusChat sponsors.

    Newsflash genius! To operate this site doesn't cost much. A friend owns an extremely popular message board and I know the exact costs associated with it (pennies). Those SAME side moldings can be bought elsewhere for $99.

    Based on your statement, it's quite apparent, you need glasses and a change in attitude. I bought those side moldings from this site. Call Danny to confirm, should you require an investigation, so you don't sound like a fool.

    THANK YOU for your useless and hateful post.
