Purpose and function of the seal

The presented seal is dedicated to the front left door in a three-door body, where it is responsible for precisely sealing the window perimeter. A properly selected seal:

• limits the ingress of water and moisture into the door interior and cabin,
• reduces wind noise at higher speeds,
• supports the correct operation of the guides and the window lifting mechanism,
• stabilizes the window in the door frame while driving.

Benefits of using an original Volkswagen seal

The original Volkswagen door seal ensures a proper fit to the shape of the door frame and window, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks. Thanks to the factory geometry and appropriately selected material hardness:

• visual consistency with other body elements is maintained,
• the risk of rattling and squeaking when opening and closing the door is reduced,
• acoustic comfort inside the vehicle is maintained.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a worn or deformed seal, especially when you want to maintain the vehicle's factory character.

Condition of the item and service application

The seal comes from dismantling and is offered as a used original part, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. This type of part is suitable both for typical maintenance replacement and for post-collision repairs, where it is necessary to restore the correct door seal.

Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard inspection of the condition of the contact surface in the door and properly clean the channels so that the newly installed seal can work under optimal conditions.

Fitment and part identification

The item belongs to the Door seals category, which facilitates its identification in the process of selecting body parts. When planning a purchase, it is worth paying attention to:

• the mounting side on the vehicle (front, left side),
• body type (three-door version),
• compatibility with the specific model generation.

Thanks to this, the seal can be used as a direct replacement for a worn component, without the need for modifications or adjustments.
