Has anyone replaced this door seal before?

I just noticed a huge tear/chunk missing out of this large rubber seal that goes around the entire opening of the door. The chunk missing is on the passenger side, right where the upper door/window seal (different seal) meets and overlaps it. It wasn't there before and I didn't pay enough attention when I picked up the car a few weeks ago for a seal replacement to fix a water leak. I'm certain it was the careless technician that managed to screw up so much else when he worked on my car.

The light blue lines are pointing at the seal in question that wraps around the door opening. I BELIEVE this part is called the "opening trim" but I can't say for sure. At infinitipartsusa.com it is at Pillars Rocker & Floor -> Interior Trim -> Opening Trim -> Black. $60.75

Has anyone replaced this before? It kinda looks like it'll just pop off but I'm not sure. The huge chunk missing looks like ****. I can't believe it was left like that, and I can't believe it's taken me 3 weeks to finally get on the passenger side to find it.

Did you have the dealer look at it? They might replace it if they are nice.

it pulls right out and pops right in. if you aren't comfortable doing it, take it to a bodyshop and they'll probably charge you $10 to do it if they don't do it for free.

Let me bring this back...

My door trim on my drivers door and rear passenger door has started to leak air, making a very annoying wind noise. I just pulled my roof rails off and the noise is still there. Has anyone replaced it, and where could I purchase this?
