This solution improves the daily ergonomics of using the car and supports the proper operation of the safety system related to door locking.

• stable mounting within the front door structure.

As a result, the installation process is straightforward, and after installation, the component operates within the parameters intended for this body model. Original fitment reduces the risk of improper alignment with the door panel and seals.
