I'm looking for various sorts of (new) side window rubber wiper thingies for the roll-up windows on my project. Whaddya call those? My searches keep turning up only windshield channel rubber...

I call them scrapers, not sure if that's the common term though.

Door window weatherstrip? It would help to know what your project is.

It's a '79 Civic, with extremely dry weatherstrip. I've found a universal everything except for these rubber window scraper thingies (that every car has) and it's the last piece of the puzzle. That puzzle, anyway.

The term "felts" jumps to mind as something I've heard them called...but probably just some vernacular that doesn't really mean anything...

Felts are the vertical parts that the window is sandwiched between and slides on. Scrapers are the horizontal ones at the bottom of the window opening.

Lower window seal or outer window seal. Have replaced many a set on C4 Corvettes.

Finally, after spending a large chunk of time today, I have figured out that the name with the most results is....

"Belt Weatherstrip"

In Ford-speak, it is called a "dew wipe". I have seen the horizontal wipe called inner/outer door belt weatherstrip by most everyone else, sometimes.

The wiper thingy strips on the inside of the windows are officially called scrapers.

In reply to sobe_death:

In Toyota-speak it is a "beltline moulding" with an inner beltline moulding and an outer beltline moulding depending on which surface of the side window it wipes.

Pretty much the whole restoration industry calls them weatherstrips or "window fuzzies", I'm not kidding.

There's scrapers and then there's the felt fuzzies that snap into the window channels down inside the door. Over time the scrapers crack and fall apart and the door channel fuzzies loose their felt and add resistance to the window as it rolls up and down. Here's one place that has some nice measured drawings. http://www.stanpro.com/windowchannels.aspx

The general body shop term is usually "belt weatherstripping" or "beltline molding."

Yeah, I've got some window felt "fuzzies", they were pretty easy to find. The window sweeps/ belt molding/weatherstrip has been harder.

I found these too... http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/Flocked_Small_Window_Trim_Drip_Seal_FWT2
