Due to clear coat failure, my car is being repainted (actually almost done). I'm trying to get all new rubber seals for everything, and 1 part is showing NLA, namely the belt seal for the rear driver's side door. Hoping that you guys might know a secret place to get one. Part # is 1247350165. Fingers crossed . . .

Belt seal for rear window NLA?

I think these really are NLA. MB Classic shows NLA as well:

There's been an NLA storm the past year or two, including some wear items like this... VERY frustrating. If your existing sealing rail is damaged, I'd look for a good used one. At $61 MSRP these were a little too spendy to hoard in recent years. Now I wish I had. Passenger side is still available, but isn't much cheaper.

Actually, I’m going to hit you up if the aftermarket one I found doesn’t match up well. It is coming from “your neck of the woods” and should make the trip in a couple weeks.
The drivers door "belt seal" is about 4 inches short of the rear. One can always create a seam at the vent moulding position using a combination of new and used or two drivers. If done carefully it would be hard to see. Used ones may not stay put although I had good luck with a used one. They like to curve upwards when old.
