Last week I parked next to a much older vehicle at work, and I saw this:

picture of old car window with rubber tab sticking out

It reminded me of my old 1995 Geo Prizm, which also had a tab like this on the leading edge of the front windows. However, I have not seen such a protuberance on any modern vehicle.

What is the purpose of this item, and why is it apparently no longer necessary?

As noted by @ Tim Nevins ; It guides the window. This is when there is no metal window frame at the top of the door and it is essentially a bare piece of glass that has limited guidance by the door.I think typical of less expensive cars but from limited observation.
