Purpose and function of the component

The weather strip is mounted on the rear left door at the contact point between the glass and the panel, where it acts as a seal and protective element. It is responsible for:

• limiting the ingress of water and dirt into the door interior,
• stable window guidance during raising and lowering,
• reducing wind noise around the window edge.

Thanks to its proper profile and fitment for the specific body version, the component helps maintain the correct window operation geometry and supports the durability of the lifting mechanism.

Exterior appearance and fitment

The chrome surface of the strip creates a visually cohesive strip along the lower edge of the window, which is characteristic of the side body finish in this model. The chrome accent blends well with both dark and light paint colors, highlighting the window line and giving the whole vehicle a tidy, factory-original look.

The placement on the rear left side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the original door construction, and the correct profile shape allows for proper adhesion to the glass and panel. Correct fitment is important not only visually but also functionally – it affects the seal and the smoothness of the window operation.

Product characteristics and installation

The element comes from the Window seals and strips group, which means it has been designed to work in variable weather conditions and constant contact with water and contaminants. The construction of the strip is adapted to the standard door mounts, which facilitates installation in place of the factory component.

When replacing, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of the window edge and guides before installation,
• clean the contact surface of any remaining dirt and old seal residue,
• check the window operation after installation – smooth movement and no rubbing.

This type of component is particularly important in vehicles used daily, where frequent raising and lowering of the window requires stable, even guidance.

Condition and benefits of use

The product is offered as a used original component, which allows for maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications. Choosing such a solution is beneficial for users who want to maintain the original character of the body finish and avoid fitment problems typical of aftermarket parts with a universal profile.

Using the correct weather strip helps reduce moisture accumulation inside the door, which in the long run can support protection against corrosion of metal components and improve the operating conditions of the electrical installation in the door.
