Purpose and function of the tailgate seal

The presented seal is dedicated to the tailgate of the Ford Fiesta Mk7 Hatchback. Its task is to create a tight barrier between the tailgate and the body, which helps to limit:

• the ingress of water and moisture into the trunk interior,
• the accumulation of dirt around the loading sill,
• excessive noise coming from outside the vehicle. By maintaining the factory shape and flexibility, the seal works with the original mounting points, which facilitates installation and ensures a stable fit around the perimeter of the tailgate.

Benefits of using an original Ford seal

Using a component sourced from a Ford vehicle allows you to maintain compatibility with the body structure and the parameters specified by the manufacturer. In practice, this means:

• a secure fit to the tailgate edges without the need for modifications,
• consistent pressure around the entire perimeter, which promotes even sealing,
• maintaining proper operation of the lock and hinges due to the appropriate thickness and elasticity of the material. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or after long-term use, when the existing seal has lost its properties.

Characteristics of the used component

The tailgate seal offered in this listing comes from a used vehicle, which allows for economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of part is a good choice when you want to:

• maintain the factory standard of workmanship,
• reduce service costs,
• match the existing body geometry without experimenting with aftermarket replacements. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard inspection of the sealing surface condition and ensure proper positioning on the tailgate edge to fully utilize its properties.

Support with selection and additional information

The component has assigned interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the shape and routing of the seal with the element currently installed in the car, paying attention to the way it is routed around the tailgate perimeter and the connection points.
