Could someone help me identify the PN# for this? It's a 2003 Lexus LX470 and under the crazy California rain a leak has appeared in my sunroof but it doesn't look to be from the drains. Instead, the leak is coming from a cracked piece of plastic in the rear of the sunroof. I am not sure which part this is and if it's possible to find another one. Please do not tell me to tape it or patch it. I like my sunroof and am not interested in putting a bandaid where rust could potentially accumulate.

Most likely either the weatherstripping, which is the outer rubber strip and can be bought and replaced separately, or the inner plastic/hard rubber seal that is factory-attached to the glass, in which case you have to replace the entire glass piece with new, or add sealant to what you've got.

Did you find a solution for this yet?

You don’t have to replace the entire glass. Toyota sells the seal. Remove the old one (heat gun) and replace using sealant. There are a few threads on it,

My experience was that it was the plastic that is attached to the glass and since this is not available separately, a tiny dab of silicone will stop the leak. I went through changing the gasket prior to using the dab of silicone. The only other option is replacement glass with the included Plastic perimeter.

Do share the link to the inner plastic seal then please. It comes attached to the glass from the factory. As I stated, the outer weatherstripping is a separate piece that can be replaced. I have not seen an option to replace the inner plastic piece. Thanks.
