• the material is selected for its resistance to temperature changes and typical operational loads,
• stiffness and flexibility are balanced so that the seal adheres well to the edge without hindering door closing.

This configured design supports maintaining the door area's seal, which translates to reduced wind noise during driving and better interior protection against moisture.

The item is offered as a used part, allowing for an economical replacement of a worn or damaged seal while maintaining proper fit for the specific model. This solution is aimed at users who want to restore correct door functionality without having to resort to more expensive aftermarket parts.
