Unsure what year or trim level, but I don't believe it really matters. Just make sure you select the correct year and trim. Based on your photos, these are my best estimates of what you're looking for.

For the windows that would be the molding which may be found here as either 1, 4, 7, and 10 depending on front/rear and right/left: Molding

For the rear door I believe it's the weatherstrip, take a look at 10 and 17 here: Rear Door Panels

It wouldn't hurt to call Acura just to be sure.

I'm not sure if you're in an area that endures winters, but tears in those rubber seals often occur when the doors freeze to them. For example if you wash/rinse your car in the winter and park it overnight without opening the doors, the metal will freeze to the rubber. When you pull the doors open the next morning you'll feel the resistance and might even hear the rips occur. I learned this a few years back and what i do now in the winter is go around and open/close each door with a bit of force to clear the water from the seals.

Hope this helps others avoid the same issue.

Question

Did this seem to work (1,4, 7, and 10) for you? Do you think it will occur again?

It's been over a year and no Plan B jokes? Am I the only immature one here?
