Audi Door Gasket - Genuine Audi VW 431819225

Product Information

A door window seal (also called a weatherstrip or window channel seal) is the rubber lining that fits around the edge of a car’s door window. Its main purpose is to create a tight seal between the glass and the door frame, preventing water, wind, and noise from entering the cabin. It also helps keep the window stable while moving up and down.

• Water leaks inside the cabin during rain or car washes due to gaps or cracks in the seal.
• Wind noise or whistling at higher speeds as air passes through worn or loose seals.
• Difficulty operating the window, with glass binding, rattling, or not aligning properly in its track.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
