Not sure what rubber molding the questioner is referring to but, whatever it is, it would probably be cheap maintenance to go ahead and do it at the same time.
Qualiform Rubber Molding (www.qualiformrubbermolding.com) and Custom Rubber Corp. (www.customrubbercorp.com) both manufacture rubber injection molding.
To replace all of the rubber molding on a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, a person will need to purchase a special glue along with the rubber molding. This can be purchased at the local automotive parts store. The rubber molding is usually sold in a kit for specific areas on the car, like the rear door hatch. Some rubber molding might have to be purchased through the manufacturer of the vehicle.
There are several online resources for rubber injection molding.I would suggest checking out www.CustomRubberCorp.com. Rubber injection molding can be ordered from companies that specialize in injection molding. These companies typically are suppliers to the auto industry.
Rubber wristbands are made by some substance called silicon or silicone that is placed into a molding space to shape it.
Open the hatch and look for a tear or broken section on the rubber molding that goes around the perimeter.

Either, but there is usually a rubber washer supplied with the fitting that is better.

Rubber molding machines work by injecting molten rubber material into a mold cavity, where it is then cooled and cured to form the desired shape. The machine applies pressure to ensure the material takes the shape of the mold, and may use heating elements or cooling systems to control the temperature of the rubber during the process. Once the rubber has solidified, the mold opens, and the finished product is ejected.
The transfer molding process beginning with the uncured rubber placed in a transfer plate located above the cavity area, rather than being placed directly in the cavity as in compression molding applications. heat is then applied to the rubber and transferred from the transfer plat, being pushed through a gate by a piston, into the cavity where the rubber is then vulcanized using heat and pressure.
They are called "belt molding". Don't know why and they ain't cheap to replace.
