Hi,
The offside front roof rail/gutter (?) trim fell off somewhere on a 65 mile drive the other day. See photos for the offside (missing), nearside (still there).
Question is, does anyone know how to describe the part / the part number / where to find a replacement please ?

Looks like the other side is coming off.
Your Avatar says a T7 California, so which vehicle do you have and year?
Has it had the Galvanic Corrosion Roof Repair in the past?
 
Campervanbits will sell you one
 
Bought one from eBay for £14.98
"VW Transporter T5 T6 Right Front Pop Top Roof End Cap 7H7875316A New Genuine VW"
Cut the old sealant off with a Stanley knife. Applied touch up undercoat to the bits where some of the paint had peeled off. Cleaned and dried it with rubbing alcohol.
To re-attach, I used the Sikaflex 522 "Sikaflex 522 - Black - Adhesive Sealant - Caravan - Sika 512 - UK Stock" as it is high temperature and UV resistant.
Also detached and re-glued the other side too.
