Default Something in window trim

So I was installing the weather tech rain guards today and when installing them a piece broke off and I am almost positive it fell in the rubber trim sealant with the window. Is there any way to access this or what do you guys think I should do. I rolled the windows up and down and no scratching and no noise.

did that massive piece break off from the right side of the first picture? If so, I would highly doubt that fell through the window rubber seal. Check around the floors and places where you wouldn't expect it to bounce off the floor to. But to answer your question on if it fell through the seal, there's no easy access. You'll have to take apart the door panels to access anything in there.

I have checked EVERYWHERE. I Do not hear a shake or rattle when slamming or closing the door or anything so it may have not fallen in there. I swept I did everything still cant find it. I took the door panel off. Peeled the cover back. still nothing.

Is this a stick-on type or an in-channel rain guard? If it's in-channel, maybe it broke off in the channel, not the bottom seal.
