I need help finding this part of a shower door. What is it called? It prevents water from going outside of the shower. Thanks

That appears to be a seal on the edge of the door gutter/track. From your photo we can't readily determine if that's the upper or lower edge, and whether it is the inside or outside edge. It may make a difference when you attempt to identify the proper replacement part, assuming you don't have to replace the entire track.

Yes, its a seal on the edge of the door track. Its the upper-inside edge– spencermAug 9, 2017 at 20:06
The flexible part that is attached to the door to prevent water from getting out is called a wipe.

Oh, it isnt attached to the door. Its attached to the shower door frame– spencermAug 9, 2017 at 1:58

Okay sorry. So is the picture a U channel that the door slides in? Those shouldn't typically need anything to stop water (they are one piece U shaped and have a drain hole in the bottom so any water drains back into the shower). If its more of an LI with a gap, then maybe its sealed with a bead of caulking.– freshopAug 9, 2017 at 19:03

It is more of an L channel. There is a gap between the sliding door and the channel.– spencermAug 9, 2017 at 20:09
Thanks for the replies. I found a substitute-ish for it. Its an auto car door trim. Hope that helps someone.

How I installed it: It is pretty simple on this one. Just push fit the molding to the edge. Link: canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/…– spencermAug 14, 2017 at 3:55
