So the rubber seals on the bottom of the outside of the side windows on my 91 cab have all cracked and look terrible.
I've tried searching this site and the net for replacements but maybe I just dont know what they are called?
Pls see pic
Ideally want the front door and the rar smaller window rubbers replaced
Thanks for any help in what they are actually called or a possible link to any anyone has purchased

You could try and rub in some silicone grease to help them or you can buy new scraper seals.
You may need to trim them to size.

Or original ones.

Yes, but they can be a PITA to get off as the clips that hold them in have sharp teeth that really bite in (more so as you pull) and there isn't much to get hold of. You will definately knacker the scraper when you remove it, so don't do it until you have the new ones.
If you look between the window and the scraper (window down) you'll see where the clips are, and where to focus your attention. You may be able to get a small thin screwdriver in to widen the clip a little, but you then may need new clips depending how far you widen them. These are the clips - https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/171837485-window-scraper-securing-clip.html
The other issue you can have is that when you pull the seal off, the clip falls off and ends up in the bottom of the door, and they are bit fiddly to get back in place.
I've probably made it sound worse than it is, but forewarned is forearmed.
