Audi Door Shell Seal - Genuine Audi 80A839120B

Product Information

A Door Shell Seal (also called a door weatherstrip or door seal) is the rubber (sometimes foam-filled) gasket that runs along the edges of a vehicle’s door shell. Its main purpose is to create an airtight and watertight seal between the door and the vehicle’s body when the door is closed.

• Wind noise while driving – whistling or rushing air sounds, especially at higher speeds.
• Water leaks – rainwater entering the cabin, soaking carpets or panels.
• Temperature control issues – poor insulation, making heating/AC less effective.

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi 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 Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi 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.
