If you are referring to the rubber piece that the window seals against when you shut the door then yes, I have replaced this piece.
My passenger side seal had a rip and I ordered a new one and replaced it. It wasn't super easy to replace though and I have almost 10 years of past bodyshop experience.
You have to be very careful when installing it or you will tear the new seal. It has to be carefully tucked back into the groove that holds it in. Best done with something flat and rounded like a popsicle stick or similar. DO NOT use a flat bladed screwdriver or you will tear/cut the new seal.

When you replace the weatherstrip, do you need to put some adhesive for the new one?

Parts 12/15 are the metal retainer. Parts 7/9 are what you are looking for. Get parts 22 (8) and 34 (2) for both sides, unless yours are still good.
The rubber weatherstrips will come off without removing the metal retainers. As mentioned above ^^^^ take care not to tear the new molding.
As far as I know the moldings do not require adhesive.
While you're at it you might check to see if your upper windshield molding is shrunk or in bad shape and replace that at the same time. I just replaced my '94 windshield molding and it looks awesome. For the windshield molding the metal retainers do need to come off, it's a little more work but IMO it's worth it.

^^^I believe you are correct. That piece does look to be sold with the metal retainer as one part. On ACURA's part description it reads "drip and retainer". Oops, I overlooked that detail.:smile:
