strip or fascia (here door panel)

Since, in your document, it is the area of a vehicle door that is intended to receive the window, that could only be the door panel, which consists of outer and inner sheets (strips) with cut-outs for window panes.

frame

Not so common in French (more often "baie" or "encadrement"), but matching the definition we may have "frame" for the metal part that receives the window, or surround, for the various parts that may seal or let the window slide
