What's this part called?

At the bottom of the side windows on the outside, there is a rubber strip to prevent water from getting into the door. What's it called and does anyone know a part #?

Also, the triangular piece at the front of the side windows, what's that called and what is its part number?

the rubber on the bottom is called the belt moulding. The one on the outside is called the outer belt moulding and thwe one on the inside is called the inner belt moulding. Just go to your dealer and ask for the part

$40 each for the outer
Inner is $100+ but i hear has been discontinued.

yup....it's horribly expensive for a few pieces of rubber! Truth be told, I haven't installed my outers, but I hear that the OEM ones from the dealer don't really line up. You have to make new holes to mount them

I had to bore out a few of the holes in the new GM pieces in order for them to fit just right. It wasn't a big deal, that's just what had to be done for it to look good.

The outside black piece is discontinued. They had a chrome piece that was still in production. I'll have to check Year one and classic industries. The ones in Junkyards can't be much better.

discontinued.. and to think I just bought new GM ones from the dealer last year. I had to drill some new holes to make the new ones work.. not a big deal, typical when switching to a new part. Like anything for a car. especially rubber parts.. prepare to get soaked for a OEM part.. OEM door seals. $200 canadian.. each. I still have the original ones.....

As far as door seals go, I have a set of Soffseal seals I got from Summit. I am very pleased with these. I have Soffseal stuff for the doors and hatch, everything else is GM.

I found this, but it doesn't seem to look like what I need.
