Does anyone know what this piece is called and where I can find it? I'm talking about the white piece of trim that runs vertically on both ends of the door opening. I've been looking around cip1 and others sites and I can't seem to find it.

It's called windlacing. Call a local upholstery shop, or you can make it yourself if you feel like stitching some extra vinyl over a piece of that round foam insulation you get at Lowe's. (I chose the second option so I'd be sure the windlacing matched the vinyl on my seats and door panels.)

I only had 1 in good enough shape to use as an example and took it to a local upholstery shop and had them make 4 new one all a little longer than necessary. I can fold the ends over when I install them. I think 4 new ones cost meright at 15.00.

Also...on the front pieces there should be a metal steip with a lip that the carpet edge fits into and you crimp the edge into the carpet.
