For owners who care about the visual and technical condition of their vehicle's body, this means a consistent appearance of the vehicle's side and reduced risk of corrosion on the door edges.

• it allows for maintaining the correct window travel path,
• it does not require modifications to the door structure during standard replacement.

Replacing a worn or damaged strip with an original used part is a practical solution for collision repairs, door restoration, or eliminating leaks in the rear of the vehicle.
