plastic ring on roof

Does anybody know what is the name of the corner piece of the plastic ring on the roof?

Mine is missing and I want to find one to put it on.
Any suggestion to where to get it is also appreciated.

I think it is call gutter trim above A-pillar or corner piece above A-pillar?
Any suggestion to get it without buying the whole set gutter kit?

That small piece that looks like a separate piece is just the front of the entire side trim.
See this thread. (sorry, can't find the one with the correct p/n)

In the US you have to buy the whole side piece (from a-pillar to c-pillar) to get JUST that front piece. It isnt very costly though (buddy just bought one for $55 from the dealer), and is pretty darn easy to swap.

After searching for a month I still can't find one.
The one I found on Ebay was in UK, and it was sold.
Today at a car wash, water gets in the car from the missing piece. Frustrating!
Any info about the official name, part number or where to buy is appreciated.

Name: roof molding
part number: check out realoem.com for part numbers.
Where to buy: Dealer.

You have to replace the whole side (only $60ish), as just the front piece CAN NOT be bought separately from the dealer.

Thanks I found the part and part number.
I was going to buy from a website in UK, but the international shipping kills the deal.
I will find a dealer and give them a call.
