Default Trying to locate the rubber seal between front and rear door RX350

I have 2007 RX350 with less than 50,000 miles, I don't think we open the rear door (behind the driver) more than 10 times during the 7-year owenership, but somehow, this rubber seal or weather stripping located on the rear door, touching the front door when both doors are closed, this rubber piece is falling apart and I'm trying to replace it. Here are the pictures I just took, it's on the driver side.

If someone has purchased this piece and done the repair, please give me a brief description of how to including part number if possible.

Thanks,

P.S. The passenger side is still good.
The first picture is taken when sitting in rear seat, driver side

Same issue on ours with only 43k miles. Believe it's this weatherstrip

Don't replace it. Seriously. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but the adhesive they used from the factory has simply come undone. Use some strong weather stripping adhesive to place it back and save your self money. If you remove the entire thing and try to replace it with a replacement strip, you will essentially be using the same adhesive to place the replacement part up.

Again, you will simply be doing the same thing anyways. Buy some adhesive, save money, and fix it.

Thanks for the advise, anyone has done this before?
Do you think the exterior GE siliconfor Doors and Windows would work? Or any other adhesive likes Super Glue?
