Purpose and Function of the Component

The right-side trunk gutter trim is responsible for tidying the body edges at the rear of the vehicle and for controlled water drainage from around the trunk lid. Thanks to its precise geometry, it works with the factory mounting points, facilitating installation and ensuring a watertight seal around the rear hatch.

This element is particularly important for:

• repairs after a rear-end collision,
• rectifying corrosion or previous non-factory repairs,
• completing missing trunk trim details.

Construction, Color, and Fitment

The black color of the trim allows for a cohesive integration with the factory trunk liners and other plastic elements in this area. Its placement on the right side of the body is clearly defined, minimizing the risk of errors in part selection and simplifying identification during installation.

Thanks to the use of original geometry:

• proper gaps between body elements are maintained,
• the trim does not interfere with trunk seals and upholstery,
• the trunk lid can be opened and closed without issues.

Characteristics as a Used Part

As a used part, the trim retains its original construction and mounting method, which is crucial for restoring the vehicle's original specifications. This type of component allows for economical repairs while maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's solutions.

Choosing an original part from the aftermarket is particularly beneficial when you prioritize:

• maintaining factory fitment in the rear body section,
• avoiding issues with aftermarket replacements of different geometry,
• preserving a consistent appearance of the trunk interior.

Integration with Other Trunk Components

The trunk gutter trim strip works in conjunction with other rear body components, such as side upholstery, seals, and trunk lid mounting elements. A correctly selected and installed part helps reduce the accumulation of water and dirt in critical areas, contributing to the longevity of the car body.
