Purpose and Function of the Window Frame Seal

The presented window frame seal is dedicated to the rear driver's side of the body, ensuring a proper fit to the VW Tiguan 5N's body shape. The element is responsible for the stable seating of the window in the door frame and for limiting the ingress of water and dirt into the door interior.

Thanks to its construction compliant with the factory standard for Window Seals and Trim for this model, installation is straightforward, without the need for modifications or adjustments of universal replacements.

Exterior Appearance and Stylistic Fit

The chrome color of the frame helps maintain consistency with other window trims on the VW Tiguan 5N. This is particularly important for repairs after collisions or corrosion, when maintaining a uniform side line and an aesthetically pleasing transition between the window and the body is desired.

The element blends well with the factory body styling, ensuring no visual differences between the repaired side and the other windows after installation. This solution is suitable for both bodywork and paint repairs, as well as for replacing worn seals to improve the vehicle's usability comfort.

Installation Characteristics and Application

The left rear window frame seal has been designed for a specific placement on the vehicle, which facilitates service work and reduces the risk of incorrect part selection. In practice, this translates to:

• secure seating in the left rear door frame,
• correct guidance of the window edge relative to the body,
• maintaining a seal in the area where the window contacts the body.

As a part from the Window Seals and Trim group, this component can be used for replacing a single damaged element as well as for a more extensive renovation of the vehicle's side window area.

Product Condition and Benefits of Using an Original Part

The offered window frame seal is a used part, allowing for a favorable cost-to-quality ratio while maintaining the original geometry and fit to the VW Tiguan 5N body. In practice, this means the part retains its factory shapes and mounting points, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of leaks.

Using an original seal on the left rear of the body helps reduce wind noise, improve protection against moisture, and restore the aesthetic appearance of the side window line after bodywork or window replacement.
