what's this piece called - side window weatherstrip support rail

I've been having trouble with getting a proper seal on the passenger side window, the weatherstrip that is supposed to seal the rear vertical part of the window does not follow the window properly.

after a little poking around and comparing it to the other side, i noticed that there is a metal rail missing from the passenger side, that apparently support the weatherstrip, creating the proper arch to follow the window.

is this piece part of the weatherstrip kits, or is it an item i would have to scrounge various junkyards for (even better, does anyone have the part number, or know of anyone who ships international that may supply this piece?)

see attached photos, any insight is appreciated

a view of the resulting gap between the weatherstripping and the window itself

i believe they call that a drip rail molding, i'm sure someone on the board has one or you can get one from a junk yard somewhere.
