Default Passenger door leak

Hi everyone! This is my first post and it is about a leak I've been having in my passenger door of my 2004 Nissan 350z Track. I've been experiencing a leak when I go through car washes and was wondering what you guys thought it could be.

I've narrowed it down to the rubber door seal that wraps around the triangle part on the attached image. It seems to be an entirely separate part from the door seal that wraps all the way around the door. The only problem is, I can't find that part online anywhere (probably because I don't know what it's called).

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what that part is called and if anyone else has experienced this leak.

Thanks in advance!

The part you are referencing is the Sail Panel. The leak is probably occurring at the door seal, and then running to the Sail Panel, and finally inside the car.

It’s probably not worth spending much effort to correct this, especially since it only occurs in a carwash (which shoots water sideways at the car unlike any weather you will encounter). Try going to a different carwash.
